Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 in stock 245/ 265 sizes. Expected ~May.
Yoko AD08A in stock sizes.
Yoko AD08A in 265 30 19 and 295 30 19. Front tire is .4" shorter and ~1" wider than stock at the shoulder.
Yoko AD08A in 275 30 19 and 295 30 19. Front tire is .2" shorter and ~1.5" wider than stock at the shoulder.
I'd rather go narrower up front, but I'm concerned about under steer. What do you guys who have played with wider rubber think- would you expect either of those fit without significant rubbing?
ZII, Rivals, RE-11A and RS-3 all don't look like they have suitable sizes.

options for 19s are definitely slim pickings in the sport tire world.
I have Advan Neova 08s on my car. Sorry.. I don't know the exact sizes but they are a little off of stock. Perhaps 10 mm wider front and rear. I picked them up from a friend for cheap because he didnt like them on his Z4M that had 19s installed. I will check for sure. EDIT : I am running 245/35/19 Front and 275/30/19 Rear
