yours 19" ah...so power.
There are many brands around man. Durex...Madonna....Vivid...There are also some Jap specs one like Okamoto.
they are all rather quiet....good grip in all conditions. Some of them have pretty good grips as they are ribbed.
And since you no experience using rubber...be safe not sorry ok. Use something that can last longer ok.

as for rubbers, DUrex is the best thus far......
OK, jokes aside, budget conscious will opt for Yokohama Advan neova ad07. Bridgestone S03 are pretty good too. If u have a large pocket, which u definitely have, opt for fab8's recomendation. Very good tires. But be reminded that u r paying a premium price for michelin's advertisement in F1 grandprix.....

Yo NB, can share how much those wheels are costing you? I love those rims too... but m not as bold as you, would love to just settle for the silver ones. Are those all in 2 piece rim?
As for rubbers, you might wanna check out the new Falken RT615. Those looks really tasty, not sure if they are available in 19" though...
