Default question for those with 19's....

what tires are people running?
i was thinking about getting the 5 spoke reps and was wondering if someone could suggest a good tire. i've found a few posts in the archives about ps2's being too wide and goodyear's sidewalls being too soft. just wondering what those with big wheels think.

Default what do you mean too wide?

too wide for those rims (doesn't that help against curb scratch) or too wide in general?

I'm running Pilot Sports 255/35/19.
They are about a half inch smaller in tire width than my 255/40/18 P-Zeros. All whees are 8.5 wide.

Default too wide as in....

they rub. it seems all 255 tires are not the same width. i know this sounds odd, but an owner had 255/35/19 ps2's rub, whereas 255/35/19 rossos didn't rub when mounted on the same wheels.

Just my two cents. I do not think it makes a difference what brand of tire. I have 255/35/19 pzero rosso tires on HRE wheels. They catch the fender on deep compression once in a rare while. The consequence of a greater offset to clear the calipers. For info, I have HRE 547 19x9.5 per HRE design. They had problems with the brakes in other setups.
