Can't find 295/35/19 tires??!! I am planning on buying some Ruff Racing 278's for my girlfriend's WS6. The rim sizes are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I am doing 275/35's on the front and was planning on 295/35's for the rear but I can't find any except some wet traction tires that I know she hates. What are you guys running and where did you get them?

Couple thoughts...
You're right that the 295/35/19 is fairly uncommon. You'll have better luck finding 295/30/19, but that will not have sidewall to match your 275/35/19 fronts.
Either way, though, both of your selected tire sizes are recommended for wider wheels than what you are trying to use (albeit by only 0.5" in both cases). If it were me I would strongly consider something more like 245/35/19 on the 19x8.5 and 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 on the 19x9.5. I know this isn't the question you asked so just consider it my .02...

hope the roads are smooth in Ky, that thing is going to ride like crap on 19's. do your self a favor get the 18's, that way at least you can get a better selection of tires that are cheaper too, and you can still get a drag radial. see my ruff 18's in sig under exterior new pics. just my 2 cents.
