Default Re: tire size

I only have 18" and 20" but i want 19"
If I get 19" someday i would go for 245/50-19 (or 245/55-19) because that setup would make the speedo pretty accurate and you will save lots of gasoline

Default I run P25540R19. Its about .3 inch taller than stock. Now that being said, if you have

smooth enough roads, 20 inch tires are much cheaper than 19 for the same exact tire in most case.
