I also have 19's and riding on stock suspension, and my beemer eats up the rear tires quick, like every 8 months, due to the negative camber.. It handles like hell, but the noise is terrible.
I had a set of Kumho and they were worse. There is a newer model Kumho that could be better, according to what I read. I wouldn't take the chance though.

My 452s are so loud it's killing me.... first 1,000 miles were quiet and then it all changed. They look good, are priced well and are super sticky, but for my next set I'm going to pony-up more $$$ and buy Michelins.... and add a camber-kit!

My son got a set of Kuhmo for his Acura TL about 6-8 months ago and he loves them. Nice ride, hardly any noise and they handle the rain extremely well. On top of it, they were among the lowest priced tires for his car at Direct Tire.

The Azenis st115's are all I rode on for years. I never had a problem then this happen......



Might have rode on them a little to long, but not much. I didn't hit a bump or anything and was going around 15mph.
