What Size tires are better for 19's!!

I am wondering if 235/35/19's ride better than 225/35/19...does any one know the difference.also i think that the toyos are better than the nitto's does any one else agree?

Toyos are great, and 235/35 sound right.

How much drop you plan on running should decide if you use 235 or 225 tires.

What size rim?? Is it 19X8 or 19X7.5??

If you have 19X8, go with 235 and 225 for 19X7.5


I have 235/35/19 on 19 X 8 with Toyo Proxes.

I agree... I have19X8 wheels, and went with 235/35/19 Nitto NT-555 (initially). Plus, the treads on the NT-555 look aggressive. I have to admit though... a few months ago... I had an emergency on the freeway, and my car was towed to an "America's Tire" store, but the only 235/35/19 tires they had in stock was Yokohama's AV-Sport, it was pricey and I didn't have a choice... so I had to go with it (it was a Saturday, and I didn't have a choice of going somewhere else). the AV-Sport tire is pretty nice too... what's cool about it is (even though it cost more), you can actually rotate the tires from one side to the other... well, actually, you'll have to have the tires taken off, and re-balance on the other side... if you know what I mean?

I just got some Nitto 555 225/40/18, and I love them. You should really look at them, they handle amasing, and they give a pretty good ride. Most importantly they look SWEET

I'm glad they took care of you......It's the same as Discount Tire Co. In CA they have a different name.
