Default Tires for Genesis Coupe Track Wheels

Hey guys, I just bought 19" Genesis Coupe Track Wheels and need good tires to wrap them in. I'm going to be running 235/35/19 all around.

I use the car for daily driving and do not track it so what's a good tire that handles well in dry/wet conditions and would last me up to 30k miles? I was considering the Sumitomo HTR Z III since I'm on a budget

Looking at around $140 per tire because of shipping charges and installation charges

That's really not much to get you ANY name brand tire; plenty of "Chinese" brands. But IF you can stretch that budget ever so slightly, you can get some pretty nice Nittos :

Don't cheap out on the tires. It is one of the most important component in handling. Think about it, the only contact between your car and the road is the tire. Handling is greatly reduced with cheap tires.

Save a little more and get something like the Hankook V12, Continental DW, or best is Michelin PSS.
