Falken Azenis 453 235/35/19 front 265/35/19... I've been running with Falken Tires for years... best bang for the buck and great side walls.

that sux, maybe get tires with stronger side walls to cope with the pot holes in NYC..
There is Yokohama Advan Sport A/S from tirerack, I was going to get these but to saved some $$ I replaced only the front to match the rear. These are new tires at tirerack without reviews, but Advan tires shouldn't be too bad.

Would 225/40/19 and a 265/35/19 work?

Fairly new at 4500 miles and so far the Re-11 is great! Quiet, grippy and handle rain well. Only street driven with zero track time, just push the car hard on and off highway ramps and around town spirited driving.

Thanks for posting. I am looking to change my tires out very soon and have been going back and fourth on the PSS or RE11. The RE11 seems a bit more hardcore but the Michelin seems to be more well rounded as a performer. The RE11 is even used by Porsche club of America and SCCA

275/30 RE-11's and love them. I have gone through Pirelli's, conti DW's and had mickey ET streets in the past. This gives best of both worlds. great grip out of the hole like a DR and yet firm side walls that handle great in the twisties.
