Default Need IMMEDIATE Tire Advice for IS350!

HELP! My car is at the shop right now and they won't put my wheels on because the tire tread is too low and they'd be legally liable if something happened. So I need to pick a tire size in the next hour.

Wheels are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I have BC Racing Coilovers, thinking of a 1 finger gap all around drop, NO fender mods. I was thinking 235/35/19 and 275/30/19. Whatever is best, and closest to stock tire rolling diameterr. Was thinking Michelin PS2 or Hankook V12 for brand. THANK YOU!

Michelin ps2 is over price. I don't think is worth it. You can try 225/35/19 265/30/19 too either way it will definitely work out.

^ Thanks. Will those sizes translate into a harsher ride but lower profile tires?

I remember people saying the ride is pretty much similar to the ps2, but the cost is a lot cheaper.

^ I meant the difference in tire sizes, not the brands. Will 225/35/19 and 265/30/19 just mean smaller tires/harsher ride compared to 235/35/19 and 275/30/19? Sorry I'm a bit of a n00b.

I think I'll go with the Hankooks, can't justify spending twice as much on tires.
