The Toyo and C3's are nice just to pricey considering my tires last about 1 year. I have already
gone through a set of
Dunlop SP9000
Michelin PS2's
and now Kuhmo Ecsta's
each lasted about 1 year or 12k-15k miles of Los Angeles driving.
General Exclaim UHP tires seem to have a pretty good rating on tirerack and have a nice price tag to boot.
Anyone running the General Exclaim UHP? If so your opinion on them?

My alignment is pretty good, front is perfect rear camber is very slightly off. Bilstien PSS9
coilovers are in pretty good shape. Should check if the shocks on them need to be re-valved or refreshed, been a few years since I bought them.

curious..why do you go with 235/35/19, rather than 225/35/19?
225/35/19 is much closer to factory rolling diameter.
You want more sidewall to cushion bumps? Or you just want more width? Or is it cause there are more tire options?

Diameter is the same as factory would prefer more width as it equals more traction
My michelin PS2 I believe were 245 width but that leaves very little clearance between the sidewall and fender.

That diameter is NOT the same as factory.
235/35/19 - 1.97% difference in diameter from stock. (At 60 mph, speedo reads 58.8 mph)
225/35/19 - 0.92% difference in diameter from stock. (At 60 mph, speedo reads 59.4 mph)
