I wouldn't risk it on the street. Maybe a track.....19's are for bling bling, not hard driving

God no... all the answers here are clearly from people who do not have them.

I've been running 235/35/19's and I have them so I CAN corner hard.

Lower profile=more expensive tires=due to stronger sidewalls and belting=quicker turn in

and more understeer to boot.
