IMHO....the bigger wheel you run the less choces you will find for performance tires. Example....the 19's ...the only true DOT R compound tire is the Michelin PSC's and at $2500 for a set of 4 is hard to swallow. Especially when you factor in they may get 7k out of them.
18' and 17's allow for much more choices. I've ran most of the brands and have to say as far as a DOT R compound tire are concerned....the Toyo R888 is the best. But they dont make anything larger than 18"....I'm running the 315's and love them.
Good luck with the chocies with the 19's. The invos are ok but nowhere near a serious performance tire.
Thanks....

I agree about the larger the wheel the harder it is to find the tire you are wanting.
I wanted a 305/30/19 with the best traction I could get in the dry and still be ok in the rain. I don't get caught in the rain often, but if I do I want it to feel safe. After hours of reading I settled on the Bridgestone RE-11. This tire gets good reviews so I've got a set on order to try out.

I have ran the nitto 305/35/18 dr's on my dd and got over 10,000 miles on them. The car made 440rwhp 400rwtq on motor and was able to put 1.5-1.6 sixties all day at 4000-4500 lanches. Never tried to spray in first, but was able to in second with no tire spin on the street. On spray the makes over 610rwhp and 625 rwtq. By the way this is in a full weight ws6. I just went to the 19x12 c6z06 spyders. Now I am tring to get the nt05r 345/30/19. I have friends that run them that pull 1.5-1.6 60's with 550+ hp. I have also seen people say that they can hold on cars making 700+ hp in second.

SilverZ408 you'll have to let me know how you like them. There supposed to be stickier then the Nittos. So far I like the Nt555r I hoping for some more power soon heads and vararam intake. Should put me between 460 and 470 we will see. Im happy with the so far

I had the Nitto 555R-II on all four wheels when I had my Trans Am. Loved those tires.
For street use on my car, though, comparing the Invos to the NT05s, not sure I'd want to sacrifice the ride quality and quietness for a little more dry traction. That said, I do have a second set of wheels now that will either get Hoosiers, NT05+NT05R, or MT ET Street Radials. Decisions, decisions.
