So my rear tires are bald. I need to replace them but found that goodyear no longer makes them in the size I'm running. I would give a pretty penny if anyone could find a pair of 275/35-19's!
I have the Tein S-tech springs installed, so I'm lowered slightly. Help!

Here's what I've got on, 19 axis hiros:
19x8.5 45mm / 1.5 Lip (Front)
19x9.5 55mm / 2.5 Lip (Rear)

Here's what I've been running:
Front: 235/35ZR-19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
Rear: 275/35ZR-19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3

What someone else with the wheels was running:
Front: 235/35-19
Rear: 265/30-19

Cy with tirerack has been helping, but heavily suggesting I go with an entirely new set. Since the fronts are fine for wear, I'm hesitant to fork over the cash to replace them.
"The closest available size would be 265/30-19's at 25.2" in diameter. Your current 275/35-19 tires are 26.5" so 265/30-19 isn't a size we would recommend."

I am open to suggestions.

Am I wrong if I ask you if you tried to find those tires in 265/35/19's?

Goodyear supposedly makes both, but tirerack seems to be the only place online really selling in bulk. Nobody else seems to keep 19' tires in stock.

Anyone know of any other large online tire retailers?

I was running 235/35ZR-19 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 for 3 years. I ran into the same problem. Goodyear disscontinued these. There replacement is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric. I replaced all mine 4 months ago and would say they feel like the exact tire. Im happy with the replacements.

275/30/19 has some good ones on tirerack. Why are you running something so much bigger than stock diameter? 275/35/19 is 2.3% slow on the speedo and 275/30/19 (equivalent to the 275/35/18 most people run) is 1.8% fast. It would be better than 265/30/19 for sure.
