After checking with tirerack, the PZeroNero and the Firehawks I currently have a pretty close.
FireHawks Front 25.4 diameter Rear 26.1
PZeroNero Front 25.6 diameter rear 26.2
Only problem is the cost of the PZeroNero's. Are they woth it?

Oh, and Randy (blacksadan 87) is VERY smart; I have turned to him for advice on many occasions and he has never let me down

If you go with 275/30/19 & 295/25/20 tires, the front tire will have a very noticeable taller sidewall than the rear tire sidewall.
One of the downsides to a 19 & 20 inch rim combo, although they look awesome, is that finding the right tire sizes isn't going to be cheap.

If you want 265/30/19 and 305/25/20 sizes, check out the Toyo T1R. They are really nice tires, and very reasonably priced.
The 265/305 size combo can also be had In Yokohama and Contintental brands, both of which are comparable in price to the Pirellis.

Thanks to everyone that helped out!!
I checked with Tirerack this morning and they had Yokohama Advan Sport tires in stock. They had fewer than 3 rear tires and fewer than 9 fronts so I snatched them up!
Tires
Front
Yokohama Advan Sport P265/30ZR-19
Rear
Yokohama Advan Sport P305/25ZR-20
I compared them to the factory sized eagle supercars and they had the exact same diameter so I'm assuming they'll work perfectly! Not cheap though but I guess that's the price you pay!!
Thanks again!

Damn Randy, I learn more crap from reading your post than I cared to know!
You have came through on some very interesting subjects bar none. I was just looking for this very information when a search brought me to this thread. Here's the spec's on the tires I'm wanting to buy:
Now if I'm reading this correctly about the tires I'm getting ready to buy, my rear tires are taller than my front tires so I shouldn't have any issues with active handling, correct?
