Best Tire for 19" rims on CLK

Ive been buying my tires from Tirerack for my 18" rims on my CLK. at some point i will be moving to 19" rims, assuming i can find affordable tires. ive looked at tirerack and discounttire, havent found anything that jumps out at me for what i need in the right sizes.

i need 235/35/19 and 265/30/19 obviously, but im looking for a tire in this size that is the most reasonably priced with the highest treadwear rating. just for city and highway driving, i dont need the best performance, just something that lasts that doesnt cost $250-$300 a tire of possible. i would like a treadwear rating up around 300 or close to it. suggestions please. thanks.

Toyo Proxies FZ4!!! Just purchased a set of 245/35 ZR19's and love them. They're so much better than the stupid P7000's and better than the SP9000's IMO. They're 300 TW and all season. Price is usually around $200+ for them but I have a hook-up at a wholesaler in Miami that ships them to me for around $175 shipped! Send me a PM if interested.

245/35 would work on your E... but Its a little wide for use CLKers...

235 yes but I don't know about a 265. Check out their website: Fast Motorsports and if you call ask for Gaston.
