Default tire suggestions for a 245/35-19?

Im getting new wheels soon and would like to know what are some good tires out there that might actgually last more than six months. I have good luck with Potenza S-03 but am open to suggestions.

Default Toyo T1-S (or new T1-R if you wait long enough), Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3..

Or Dunlop SP9000 is you want some more comfort (but then again, you'd not be running 19s if that was the case) ;-)

Also:
PZero Nero
BFGoodrich KDW2


Wanna save some cash?
Falken GRB FK451
Falken ST-115

Default Do you have rolled fenders? Might want to talk to madmanDan about fitment.

I think 245's would give you some trouble in the front atleast, depending on how low you were ofcourse.

Default Josh at Achtuning assures me that if I add a small spacer on the rear, increase camber up front and

roll the front fender I should have plenty of clearance.

Default I see, not to familiar with all that , but I would probably stay away from a 19" KDW's since they

run really wide and have big sidewalls(great tires though). I've talked to some people with rolled fenders with 235/35/19 KDWs and they rub, don't know about camber or spacer adjustments though.

I have 235/35/19 KDW2 and they rub like a ****. I love them though so I will suffer with it.
