I just got an attractive quote on some Dronell Type M rims. The staggered setup would be 19 x 8.5f & 9.5r. In my research, I told the tire people that I did not want to go smaller than a 35 in sidewall. Then, they said the ONLY tire available to fit the rim would be Pirelli P-zero Rosa. Cost would be around $1200 for the tires. Do you guys know if there are other manufacturers that would fit this size? (245x35x19 and 275x35x19). Also, what about the Pzero Rosas? Noisy? Good? Feedback appreciated.

from what i have heard, pirelli tyres are, in general, more noisy than the comparable bridgestone (s-o2/03), yoko avs sport, dunlop sp 9000.

have you check the sizes for the above models? they last longer than the pirellis too.
the new S-03s are supposed to be very good(excellent review from many auto/tyre journals)
