What size tires for 19" wheels on 2010 TSX?

I have a 2010 Acura TSX 6MT and just bought 19" Ron Jon Legend Liquid Graphite wheels. What size tire should I put on them? Any recommendations for best tire for the money?

I've heard 245/35/19's, but what will be best for look.

I am currently at stock ride height but thinking about Eibach Pro Kit 1" drop.

Help please?

Thanks bro! Looks sick! How much different is the ride with the Eibach Pro kit? I don't want a real bumpy ride....

Rim width plays a part in how it looks on a tire. 19x9 with 225/35/19 will be stretched whereas a 245/35/19 will not be so much, if at all.

Indeed, I would suggest a search so you can see all the other 245/35/19s here. I think defcon has that size, but his wheels are wider. Derwood on the other hand, he also has RJ Legends, which I believe are 19x8. As for the ride, it's all very subjective. I would even go so far to say it varies between cars. On my '09, the Eibach ride seemed like stock. On my '11, it's noticeably stiffer. It's definitely not a Lexus, but that's the way I like it. Makes for attacking the twisties a bit more fun.

With as big as this car is and as big as the wheel wells are......35 series tires look stupid on a 19" wheel. You should do 245/40/19. I had this setup with Tein S tech on RDX wheel and there was plenty of room and it didn't look like a mariachi wagon.

Thanks so much for the input guys. I went ahead and ordered the Bridgestone Potenze RE760's in 245/40/19 per your recommendation. Got them for $210 each, and was pretty stoked.I'll post pics as soon as it's all put together.

Cheers!
