Hey guys and gals. Have a 2005 Roush Sport Coupe. Car is mildly modified but stock ride height. Car had Falken FK452 255/40-19 fronts and 275/40-19 rears on 19" TSW wheels. I bought a set of 18's and ran them this past summer but decided I like the 19's better so looking for tires now. The rear wheels are 19x9.5 and the fronts are 19x8's. Pretty happy with the tire size but open to suggestions. Unsure of backspacing but they fit fine with no spacers.
Moreso looking for opinions on what brand to run? Currently my 18's are Toyo Extensa 275/40-18. They seem to be ok. I don't track the car but not saying it would never happen but if it did it would be a 1 off thing. I only drive in nice weather but may get caught in the rain on occasion. I drive it about 3000-4000 miles a year and tend to run it pretty hard once in awhile.
Think I gave enough info? lol. Goodyear is out of the question for personal reasons. Our other 2005 Roush has Michelen Pilot Sports on it but its 99% stock and doesn't get ran as hard but I have no complaints or issues with them.
Thanks!

Still looking for suggestions. I will be painting the TSW's tomorrow then after they cure I'll start polishing the lips then I'll be ready to order tires.

My continental extreme sport 02’s seem very nice. My first set and I’m nothing but happy with them.

Ended up going with Michelin Pilot Sport S4's. Just drove the car 500 miles and really like them so far
