So the rims I am ordering are 19X8.5" front and 19X9.5" back. I need tires but know nothing about them as in what is an average cost per tire, install cost that is reasonable, decent brand for my money, etc.

My car is not a track car, I dont need ultra high performance tires. I just want something with a sturdy side wall. Plz help :)

(and yes Ive tried searching tire prices on the forum but couldnt find anything useful)

215/35/19 for fronts and 245/30/19 for rears... lots of brands. i would say some nexen n3000 would be okay or falken ze-912. both are lower priced and have good tread wear and perform alright

225/40/19 for the front and 245/40/19 for the rear with a little stretch :thumbsup:

edit: 2xx/30/19 would be harsh ride?

Why would you do a 40 series on the fronts and rears? Rears are gonna be huge compared to the front.

I would recommend hitting up UrbanX and chat with them about what they can offer.

You can get a rough ballpark off 1010tires.com or call UrbanX, they sell tires and can probably give you prices ;)

Hankook Ventus V12 Evo's BEST bang for the buck tire out there right now.

What you need to do is post the year and model of your car, also the stock wheel size so I can double check what tire size works for you while keeping your overall diameter the same.
