What Tires to get for 19\" All Around??

I just spent over an hour looking at a million posts regarding tires options on a whole variety of wheel platforms. I've decided on the infamous CCW 505A 19 inch all around with 10" on front and 13" on the back. What is the best tire size and brand choice (loaded question...I know). I'm going from the stock 17" all around to these 19"ers so I'm also wondering about speedometer calibration or any other issues.

For a good tire that is not mainly used for racing, I would go with the Michelin NON-runflat. The Runflats are simply too hard. NICE WHEELS and good luck!

Speedo calibration will remain the same providing you get the same rolling diameter as your 17's, which you should get as close as possible. Remember you are losing side wall height but gaining rim height, so the trade should be equal.
Now as to what tires to get there are a lot of personal preferences. I've driven a lot of tires over the years and you can't go wrong with any of the big boys-Michelin, bridgestone, good year, etc. But they get EXPENSIVE! I am going the Kumho route this time sround as they seem to be about half the price of the aforementioned. You'll likely get lots of different opinions here, but if money is any object, shop around!

By the way, if you go to www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculator.asp you can plug in the different rim and tire sizes and it will calculate all the essentials for you!
