Need quick advice URGENTLY

Hi, just baught myself some Iforged 19" 8.5 (front) 10 (back). I baught them last year during the winter, shipped them to Detroit (uncles address), now im coming around to getting some tires and putting them on!! I dont know which tire size would be the best fit for this size, and where the best place to order them from. Could anyone just quickly answer these two questions because I really need to put them on soon (as in two weeks I have to goto Detroit and I still havent ordered the tires!!!)
Thanks!

You plan to put them on and drive back across the border?

Looking for Toyo T1R's go to www.edgeracing.com or www.vulcantires.com. Not sure the 10" rims will fit in the back (I have 9.5" and they are already at the outer edge of my car body), but go for 245/35/19 on the front & a 275 or 285/30/19 on the back.

Those sizes should work well.

phrozenhandlez,
What is the purpose of your tires? If you are using it for daily driving i would suggest the dunlop direzzas.. only because they are VERY affordable. Thats what i have on my 19s

The purpose is occasional driving. I only drive my car about 8K a year, but when I do, I tend to drive pretty hard. I talked to the guy at a tire store in Detroit today and he recommended Dunlop Sports MAXX 245's (front) and 275's (rears). He gave me a quote of 1200 total (including taxes, installation, etc.)

And yes, "DarkBrew" I am planning on putting them on the drive back.

Fanman, I was originally looking for the T1r's, but im not sure if im getting a good deal on the Dunlops? Can I get a better price?

Sounds pretty pricey. Is that in Canadian $ ? $400 per tire is way expensive, even with installation. For street driving (even hard) the Toyo T1R's are a great tire.

like fanman said, go for the T1R's. i have them on my stock wheels in 245/40 & absolutely love them. i bought them from edge racing, & i think it was about $670 or so for all 4 tires. good luck with whatever you choose.

Fanman, that would work out to 300 not 400 (and in US $$) Keep in mind, this is a price for the 245/275 combination... Can I get those in the T1r's?

Sorry, just glanced at it quickly. Even at $300/tire that is really pricey.

Edge Racing has the T1R @ :

245/35/19 = $206
275/30/19 = $238
