Default Looking for Advice/Opinions on Tires

I've got (4) 19x8 rims and am looking to mount 225/35/19 on front and 245/35/19 on rear. Anyone have advice or experience on a quiet riding tire with a good treadwear rating? Thanks in advance.

You're going to have a hard time getting quietness and longevity out of a tire in those sizes. They're considered in the ZR range, which makes them not so long lasting.

You should look at a Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 or Pilot Sport if you want something quiet and long-lasting... however, get your Benjamins ready. You have to pay to get sportyness, longevity and quietness all in one neat little package.

However, it is to be noted that with almost 20,000 km on the car right now the Pilot Sport PS2 which came stock with the car are almost bald. I need to look into getting them changed next summer, and the PS2 in the rear are going for about $450 a tire in those sizes.

Do you know if either the Toyo Proxes 4 or Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 are quiet riding tires?

Your best bet would be to go on tirerack.com or 1010tires.com and read their reviews. Helps a lot.
