Default Tire Size Help

Presently, I have BFG KDW's on my 03. Fronts are 275/35-18 and rears are 295/35-19. Worked with TireRack on sizing them. My main need was having the sidewalls as close to the same height, front and rear.

I need to replace them and it seems the 295/35-19 is not too common. If I go down to a 285/35-19 for the rear, I have a lot of choices. What would be a good match for the front?

The car is not tracked or driven overly hard. What would be a good tire to go with? The original Goodyear runflats were terrible, rough riding and noisy. The KDW's are awesome! But guess what, no longer made.

I really like the look of the KDW so would like a somewhat sporty looking tread pattern. Any suggestions on brands and models? Probably stay away from runflats, I know it's a gamble, but, that's why I carry AAA.

Firestone has some nice stuff as well as BFG. Always Michelin and Pirelli. Bridgestone, Yokohama, etc. Any to stay away from?

Thanks for the help.

For runflats, these look pretty good.

Not inexpensive but may be worth it.

Only size for front are 245/40-18 and rears 285/35-19. They match up sidewall height. Just think the fronts would look really narrow compared to the existing 275/35-18
