Default Choosing the right tires.

I'm waiting on a set of 18 X 9.5 & 19 X 10.5 wheels and would like to know if you guys have any suggestions on sizes or manufactures.

Depends on what you want! High HP needs some grip but if your stock your probably looking for higher mileage then grip. For grip I like Nitto RII sticky, expensive and dont last but 10-15K.

I need traction, not worried that much about how long they last.
I'll check on Nitto's website to see if they come in 19".
Thanks
