18/19" wheel help
Going to pull the trigger soon on a set of aftermarket wheels. However, having a tough time deciding what tires to go with. Ill be running a 18x9.5 rim in the front and 19x10 in the rear. Sizes I were thinking of going with were P265/35ZR18 and P305/30ZR19. Can anyone suggest a tire in those sizes that have good grip and arent noisy? Thanks in advance.

Way more grip than the previous General Exclaim radials I had and there was a reduction in road noise too!

michelin pss
or
if you want to save a few bucks the bridgestone s04. both are better than the v12, the pss quite a bit so
i actually like the v12 and it's a good choice for stock wheels but in these sizes you have better options for similar money

I would not run a 305 on a 10 inch wide rim. You should be looking at 295s..... 305 mm/25.4=12 inches....that's really pushing it.

I've got those same sizes. Running Nitto Invo's. I didn't think I'd like them, but they've been great. Got caught in the rain a couple of times, they handled it perfectly. They even hook up pretty well with hard launches.
