Does anyone have these tires on their 19" rims, are they any good. Any input is greatly appreciated.

No personal experience, but, my friends who use them in a low-profile tire says they are excellent for the money.... a few of them have 19s

I have Nitto NT555's in 19 x 8.5 fornt and rear ; running 235/35 and I must say at 600 a pair you can do better. I would suggest Pirelli PZero Nero's , Michillan PPilot Sport 2's, Or the Bridgestone Potenza's . I seem to have problems with the tires wanting to Hop when they are pushed a bit; the ride isn't horrible but it isn't plush either. I thought replacing mine would give me better handling and it didnt so I am out $600 my next set with rims in a staggered setup will be one of the above mentioned.

Hope this helps......

ordered a set today from disc tires. $950 for 265/30/19 and 235/35/19. includes balancing, install stems etc... not bad. I've tried yokos, dunlops, contis, and pzero. just wanted to try something else. they all last about 12k miles. hoping the nittos will last a little more, maybe 13k lol
