Tire recommendation
Looking to get some new tires. What would be the best all around tire in a 255/40/19 and/or 255/35/19 size. Important factors would be ride comfort, value, looks, performance in that order. Thanks for your opinion.

I don't know about comfort running 19s lol
but if you need some snow performance then conti DWS for sure! However, if snow performance isn't needed then Michelin pilot AS3s are the best ultra high performance all season tires out there hands down. I like DWS because of winter capabalities but other than that pilot AS3s are just by far superior in terms handling, performance and looks if you will! lol

Agree with all the Conti and Michelin recommendations
The Michelins are best in class according to Tire Rack, Car & Driver, and Consumer Reports testing. However, if ride comfort and cost are important, those sources indicate that the Continental DW or DWS have a little better ride comfort (with a degradation in handling as compared to the Michelins), typically cost about 35% less than the Michelins and are a "best buy". I've had both and the Michelin's performance is worth the extra cost for me.
