[QUOTE="69Mach1351w, post: 12193621, member: 13120"] What size would you guys go with for a 2011 on stock 19" SVTPP front rims. Stock rim size calls for: 265-40-19 The two main options for that exact size are: Goodyear Eagle (not ever putting these back on) or expensive Michelin. I have heard good things about the Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport, but sizes are either 245-40 or 275-35. My father runs those on his FGT and it felt great during summer. How is it during these "colder months." The Nitto Invo is about the same price, and offers a closer size. Just a touch less sidewall than stock: 265-30-19. They also have a 275. I assume that going up from 265-275, or 10MM, would not have a dramatic effect on handling. This is my DD after all, im not a professional road racer. Im in NC, and with cooler weather and the potential to get caught in a quick downpour, or maybe even a touch of snow( i avoid it like the plague if i can) i am hesitant to slap on the tires i have on my rear, but, I have also heard of people running the Nitto NT-05. Although they seem to handle great during wet conditions. Would these be OK for front tires? Of the 3 tires mentioned in my post, which do you guys think would be best. Goal is: Decent handling, decent treadwear/life, and good rain drive-ability. I dont want to replace front tires after 16K miles like im facing now. My alignment must have been off from factory as the outer 1/4 of the stock eagle's are worn dramatically. I have a steep driveway to road curb, which i take at an angle, but perhaps that is flexing my stock suspension out of alignment. any comments would be appreciated! [/QUOTE]
