Tire suggestions for 19' V710

Hi,

Currently, tire rack is out of Hankook V12 evo stock. So I would look for other possiblilities. What do you guys recommend in terms of performance, sidewall, and price.

I'm thinking of 225/35/19 front, 245/35/19 rear !

Please help me out here ~

Velocity Motoring suggests the best fit is 225/35/19 ET45 front and 245/35/19 ET 50 rear I'm concerned about the tires rubbing. I'm not going to modify the suspension or roll any fenders. I have the V12 Evo on 18's currently. Not overly impressed. They are OK. I think I liked the Falken 452's or Nitto 555's better.

This will not have any kind of rubbing issues at stock ride height, guaranteed.

Falken FK452's are great tires. Iv personally used them here in Orange County, CA. and they have served me well during wet and dry performance. They also do offer a rounded sidewall for minimal clearance situations if you ever do plan on lowering the vehicle in the future.

I would have to agree with Charles on this, esp on the Falken 452! Check out my pics if you dont believe me.

Tire sizes look correct. You could go 255/35/19 on the rear. Check out the Vredstein Ultrac Sessanta. They got some good reviews. I'm going to get them or the BF G-Force KDW's. I currently have the Evo's on my stock 18's. Not overly impressed with them. Not horrible either.

You'll actually want to grab 255/30/19 to stay within the OE rolling diameter.
