Red face what tires to get?

hey guys im going to be ordering some tires for my new wheels soon and was looking for some opinions.
the tire sizes i need are
2 275-30-19 for the rear and 245-35-19's for the front.so its eather these few
general exclame uhp's
kumho spt's
vredestein's
or other brand/recomendations.
i can get the vredestein's for 750 to my door but dont know how they are but i have seen a few cars on here and a few other boards with em.
i have the suv verion of the general's on my escalade with a set of 22's on them and they perform really good for the money but the ones im talking about are suposed to be good but i have also read and luke at tirerack told me there a little loud. i dont mind paying a little more for a better tire but not 300 a tire.
i have had the 712 supra kumho's and they where a very hard tire and rode hard but i have no experiance with the spt's.
i would like a tire in the uhp class or max summer class. i need em to be good in the wet and ride decent. let me know your opinions guys.thanks

In a 19" or 20" the GEnerals and the Kuhmos SUCK!!! if you like a quiet tire.
these tires are LOUD as HELL after the first couple thousand miles...

I've had both.. and no more.. thank you very much.

The vredestein's I don;t know except they are the generic brand of somebody...


Problem is.. ALL 19's are expensive that;s why I went to 20's but you can;t on your car.

I am running Nitto 555's now any they are nice so far. they fit like the Toyo, which are nice also....
