Found new wheels...need tires

Looking for a GOOD tire in 235-35 and 245-35-19's. I'd like to get Yokohama Advan S4's,but they don't make them in these sizes. I've read MANY opinions on Conti DWS and I'm on the fence with them. I live in Michigan and have dedicated winter tires. Chime in with opinions please and forgive me if this question has been asked a million times before. I'd like to get one with a good treadwear rating for at least 25-30K. TIA

Look at 245/35-19
Unless you want a dedicated summer tire e.g. Continental DW, take a look at
A/S Bridgestone 970AS, heavy tire, but tread width of 9.1"

What do you mean by "heavy" tire?

I second the suggestion of these tires. I just got them and they perform amazingly well for an all seasons..stiff walls, traction,wet performance, etc

Bridgestones tend to be a little heavier than other tires in the same category. that being said they are often more robust than their counterparts (like pothole damage resistance especially when compared to the DWS from Continental).
