What are the sizes you can fit on the stock 19" rays that come with the sport package. Because i think i royally got raped. I have been reading on here on that people are putting sizes other than the 225/40/19 and 245/40/19

Take in consideration i really dont know much about tires but if you could fill me in it would be be a great help.

You didnt get raped, i have the same set-up as you and i bought the car that way, i've been told that you can put 245's in the front and 275's in the back and i was told that it would look nice and even eat up some of the fender space but my question is guys what brand of tire would you guys recommend?

I'm sorry guys let me tell you what happen. I had to get winter tires for my g because i just moved up from floridato wisconsin and my tires looked like racing slicks. I shopped around trying to find some tires for my 19's. I couldn't find anything for the size that i said before so i decided to get 18's and some al season tires.Mind you i didnt know you could put any other size than what was on there. Well these rims look good but i would have rather paid 800 for tires instead of 1500 for new tires and rims. I was trying to save money by getting the different rims and all season tires instead of switching tires every season and paying 1500 for tires every time i need to change. If i knew i could have got the tires for 800 and the would have worked for the seasons and i would have got to keep my 19's on instead of these rims i dont really like.

I hear the Toyo Proxes are great, and they last just as long as the Bridgestone Potenzas.

Honestly you could have bought some bridgestone potenzas or something else...check...www.tirerack.com but what i would do in your situation is have a set of winter tires and winter rims that you dont mind getting messed up for the winter seasons and then have your nice spring/summer set when the weather is nice and you could just swap them out

Ok toyo proxes may last as long as bridgestone but do they perform like them as well

Ryan,

You got poked in the butthole a little.

There are a few different sizes you could have gone with. I have the 225/40/19s up front and 255/40/19s in the rear. The rears are a little wider and only make a 1% speedo/ABS/VDC error so I don't really care.

Has anyone tried the the Nitto Envos? I really want a set.

Toyo makes great reasonably priced tires.

Check out Kumho and Hankook too especially since you won't see cold rain too often.
