I'm running Toyo tires 285/35/19 on a 10 in. wheel but I don't remember the individual price I got for them since I bought the whole package deal. They had pretty good traction until I added a 3600 torque converter.

I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 275/30/19 on OEM C6 19x10 wheels on all 4 corners...I bought them used off of eBay, but I had to buy them a pair at a time and wait like 4 months from the first pair I won until I won the 2nd pair. I've got like $350 tied up in all 4 tires including shipping. The front pair were at 5/32nds and the rear pair have 8/32nd.

IF I were going to buy new, I'd go with the General Exclaim UHP tires from The Tirerack for $152 each in 275/30/19.

I think a 275 tire is way too thin for a 10 in. wide wheel! I've seen and it looks like crap! As it is I shoulda gone with a wider tire cuz my 285 is near flush with the wheel.

I have 235/35/19 Falkens, I bought the car with them on, he got the rims/tire package deal about 2600 bucks for everything. I have been looking around for some used wide tires. these things aren't even wide enough for some rim protection. It sucks!

I was running general's 275/30's when I had my 19's(http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/fin...GENHZ2&rf=true). Actually really good traction for the price I paid for them. Couldn't tell you about wear, I didn't have them for too long before I sold them, here is a few pics:

My Firestone Firehawk 275/40/17's are only 9.5" wide. The Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 275/30/19's are 10.9" wide. I think they fit just fine on a 10" rim! Judge for yourself.

These are pics from my test fit, so they're not completely cleaned up yet...but you get the idea.
