Hello there, I want to go with 19 in. wheels (19 X8.5) but I don't know what tire size to choose from. Does anybody out there can help me choose the best tire size. I want the look of the OEM tires (235-45-17) to look similar on the 19 in. wheels. Can anyone out there reccomend me a good and safe size tires that won't look too meaty. Also reccomend me some good summer tires brand. Please post some pics of the different tire sizes. Thanks!

You could do 235/35/19 or 245/35/19 for more protection.

Falken FK452 are nice.

Yeah, he's right those are the closest sizes. Check out the link below if you want to see the numbers. Also for summer try on some Eagle F1 -GSD3s.

I got 245/35/19 Pirelli PZero Nero on my 19" Axis Milano and no problems, even though I got winter wheels (never drive the 19"s in winter).

Tripnbeats

yea id say F1's have to be the sickest but useless unless ur riding on em everyday....and the pirellis r def best for all around....i have pirelli pzero on 18s

245/35/19 is the best size to go with. 235/35/19, which I am currently running, are a bit thin. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 is HANDS DOWN the best summer tire around. But at 245/35/19, you are looking at over $300 a pop, hence my rolling on 235/35/19's!

245-35-19's here without any drop yet and they still look good. BTW, with low profile tires, I would DEFINITELY get the warranty. I've had 2 pinched tires so far.

I was thinking the same thing. I want maximum protection from these messed up NYC roads. Is there anyone running a slightly bigger tire than the 245/35/19?

Tripnbeats

if u want max protection u shouldnt get 19s in NYC....lol but then again "YA GOTA HAVE EM" lol i know the feeling.

6SpdTerror

I have 18s now and i think they look small! I want to do some 19 inch RonJons but im afraid of bent rims and blown out tires.
Ive had great luck with the BFG KDW gforce 245/40/18

Tripnbeats

Yup I got the 18 legends from ron and they look massive....people always ask me if they are 19 lol

Tripnbeats

I have 12 original rims to throw at bloombergs head as frisbees hopefully one takes his head off for stealing all this money n not fixing the roads.

x2! Can't go wrong with Falken's from what a lot of people are saying..

Get the goodyears if you are ballin.

Tripnbeats

I heard 50/50 commments on goodyears so i wasnt 100% about them.... but carbon fiber sidewalls are sick! I went with Pzeros instead. I hear great things about the Falken 912's so id say one of those 3 Im extremely happy with PZeros..... discounttire.com

wat do you mean when you said with 245-35-19 with low profile tires? Is there a difference between low profile tires and regular tires such as (Falken FK-452)

ballinfizzle89

iTrader: (6)

....no he means 245/35 ARE low profile tires...

enigmaos

iTrader: (4)

tire profile and tire brand are two different things. can't compare tire profile to tire brand.

any tire with a sidewall under 55 is considered low profile

Is it really dangerous to drive with 245-35-19? What is the best and bad thing about driving with 245-35-19? Thanx!

No love for Toyo T1-s here? I liked them.

Hey Son, here you go, this is my setup:

Lol, actually Paul, most people here favor Falkens, and I've actually heard some bad things about Toyo tires from them. I can't seem to recall what exactly, though!

What offset should I be looking at if I have an 04 TL with wheels 19 X 8.5 and with tire size 245-35-19? Does anyone know?
