I meant 305/35/19 for Continental ExtremeContact Sport, if the do they will probably be $100 more for each tire
Sorry, my bad. I misread and thought you we're talking about the wheels.

285/35/19 on 19x10 SVE GT350 wheels, 40mm offset

I wanted to do 305/35/19 in the back on 11" wheels but they dont make those:/
I actually emailed Continental and asked if they planned to produce them in that size and the said NO. Boooo

The Wider options available really suck for the 19 inch rim. I would like a 325 - 35-19 or even 315-35-19. I currently run thr 325-30 conti force contact that are no longer being made. Witch are pretty bald i might add. Not sure witch route to go at the moment.

Is 305/30/19 really that bad? I wish they had them in 305/35. When paired with 275/35 would it be noticeable?

Yeah, I agree. After looking around for a wider (than 285) tire, the options suck. You're either stuck with a drag radial NT05R/MT ET Street SS or some other tires that have sidewall profiles that are weird. Too bad Continental isn't going to make the ExtremeContact Sport in a 305/35/19 or else I would buy that.

Is the 325/30/19 ExtremeContact Sport too short of a sidewall for these cars? Will it look funny? I have the 285/35/19 on my right now and that's about as small of a sidewall as I want to have. The 325/30/19 is even a little smaller.

It's too short overall, by close to an inch. Wouldn't matter to most, unless you have a "ton" of power, 3.73s and still trying to trap in 4th gear.

I am very curious how these compare vs. MP4S and their pricepoint/performance stats.
Grassroots Motorsports just did a compare between the two in their latest issue. Both improved over their predecessors but the MP4S is still the out right faster tire, iirc. At least in the dry. I can't remember the wet results.

I think many would be happy with that size (I know I would). The problem is that Continental and Michelin don't make that size in there latest and greatest leaving us to compromise by choosing lesser tires or different sizes (or very short life tires).
