Best 245/35/19 Tires for the lowest price?

Which tires would you all recommend, and not recommend for 245/35/19's? Tell me which ones you LOVE and why, and which ones you HATE and why.

I'm looking at the Bridgestone Potenze RE760 Sports on TireRack.com for $205/each. Thoughts?


Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

I have the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS tires and I LOVE them because they're so grippy. There is this one corner on my way to work every morning where I feel like "OK, this time I'm going to go too fast and the tires will break loose" but I get nary a chirp from them, and I don't think I have the guts to go any faster.

Another user on this forum, Tishkevich has the same tires, and he raves about their longevity.

If your car's the daily driver, try General Exclaim UHP. Good, grippy, cheap tires that'll last at least 40k miles.

Do they look good, and are they quiet?

They look good, and I don't hear them since my radio is usually @ 8 or louder

Continental's ExtremeContact DWS. Great tires, good grip, low noise and even better in the wet. They do have the slightest mushy turn in response, but nothing that has detracted myself from getting them. I have them on my TSX, my dad has them on his Mini S and my friend has them on his S4. No complaints. Also they are much cheaper then the Bridgestones.

Those are $232 each on TireRack.com in 245/35/19's. Anyone know where I can get them cheaper?

Since I live in Florida, I don't have a need for the S in DWS. No snow here.

I had RE960AS on my 2006 Civic. They were at 46,000 miles when I got rid of the car, and they probably could have lasted another 10-15K more miles. Excellent grip in all weather and the handling was great. Only negative was about a 1-2 mpg drop in gas mileage..

I've seen reviews on DWS saying that they are very poor on Highway speeds and some went off the road. Also they are some what soft on turns. Im looking around as well so im looking for some good feeds..
