~~19" Rubber for wheels~~

Can anyone recommend a great all season radial for some 19" wheels? I am thinking about upgrading to the 19" wheel from Acura that originally comes on the SH-AWD model with the Summer Performance Tires. I don't want the HPT (High Performance Tires) that come on the 19's. I would prefer an all season radial that is more complete instead of limited to the good weather days.

So, any of the rubber pros out there have any suggestions, please shoot over some suggestions. I'd really appreciate it. I don't want to have noisy tires either. I have Continental sport 2 tires in 20" now on my Corvetter and love the dry traction and cornering, but the noise is horrible. Plus, the don't come in 19's anyway (CS2's).

Thanks again gents/ladys.........

Well, the ideal set-up would be HPT's in the summer and snow tires for the winter. All-season tires don't excel at anything and just going to a bigger size isn't going to give you any real performance advantage unless it's a totally different type of tire like HPT's. I have 19" Yokohama S-Drive HPT's which are excellent.....phenominal grip, low noise, and good tread life. If you still insist on going with all-seasons, I'd suggest something like Pirelli P-Zero Nero's which have gotten good reviews.

Tires

I used to have Michelin Sport PS2 18 in. summer tires on my ACURA 2007 Type-S . This year I changed to Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric XZ. These are the best tires I ever had.

Yeah PetesTL, I am not really looking for any extra performance advantage. I just want something better than these tires that that I have on the car now. So, since I wanted to go with the 19" wheel design, I figured that I'd look into a nice all season tire that would give me low road noise and better rain/snow performance than what I'm driving on now.................Not that terrible, but I feel like I'm not a planted and secure in the corners in the wet stuff!!

The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus is supposedly the best all season tire you will find.
