Tires

I'm looking to buy a set of 275/40/19 all the way around. Any recommendations on what kind of tire to buy? Don't need anything super sticky, I don't drive hard.

I just put a pair of Pzero Rosso's in that size on the back of my car, though I haven't really put any time on them yet to give a fair evaluation. And they're expensive. Sumitomo HTR ZIII is pretty common and perform well, and the price is great. Michelin's got a few great options but the price gets up there and might be overkill for your purpose.

Looks like the Michelin Pilot Super Sport is the best in the test. I 'might' try them for my next tire in a few more years


Edit: These tires don't come in my size so i won't be trying them .
They do come in the OP's size

Michelins are awesome but their biggest advantage is in wet conditions. If you only take the car out in nicer weather consider the sumitomos as noted above. I ran them hard last season for 1200 miles at the track and they worked really well for what they are. Street driving they will last a long time and have great grip in warm conditions. I still have mine on one set of track wheels and have been burning them up driving around town - good grip and predictable on the street

In my opinion if you drive wet conditions that's a reason to spend money on good tires. If just dry, for street only, lots of tires are perfectly fine.
