Ordered a set of M167s today with M6 Offsets. Looking for tire recommendations.
I'd like to have a nice mix of performance, ride quality, tread life and not too much road noise.
Hopefully I'm not asking for too much.
Sizes I'm planning for are:
245/35/19f
275/30/19r
Thanks!

Are you looking for all seasons (generally longer tread life but less dry road grip) or summer performance tires?

I was just looking at tires too, and I found a great tire for your application made by Bridgestone (Potenza RE 760 sport) It's what I'm leaning toward! 
I too am looking for a bit of wet weather prowess (should it EVER rain here again!)

The reviews on the Bridgestones were good ... I almost went for those too but got a better price & deal on the Generals + the 4% MrRebates $$ from TireRack. I'm getting decent use from them and running @ 38F and 42R psi they seem a lot crisper than the slightly softer recommended tire pressures.

For me general UHP's are the best tire on the road. Great feel, quiet and will last forever
