I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of 19x10 front and 19x11 rear wheels. My only issue is finding tires that come in 305. It's looking like my option is 305/30/19. Is 30 too small compared to stock 40?

I've gotten indy 500s for the past 4 years but they don't make this size.

I'm leaning toward MPS4.

I'm about to get tires for my new wheels and will be getting Michelin Pilot Super Sports as they do come in 305/35/19 with a 19x11 wheel. Expensive...yes. Rated right below the 4S on Tire Rack. For the front 19x10 wheel, I'm looking at Conti Extreme Contact in the 285/35/19. Both of these sizes are very close to the diameter of stock 255-275/40/19.

Ah nice. I wasn't aware the super sports came in that size. I'll take a look at those

I wish tire america had them in stock in 305/35 since i get a discount there. looking at the 305/30 compared to stock. it looks like its about 0.8 inch difference in diameter, so about a 3% difference. which would be almost 2 mph difference at 60mph. Almost an inch in diameter seems pretty significant.

If you're looking for affordable options, I may point you towards 4WheelOnline. They have a huge collection of tires for sale. They are all made by the most-trusted tire manufacturers, coming in at different types, sizes, and designs.

Nitto 555rii come in 305/35/19 for your rears. Streetable DR that can hook power but still handle rain. I couldn't hook for anything back on the pp1 MPS4 but these get the job done for NA or boosted imo.

just buy 275/40 or 285/35 for front, 295/xx or 305/30 for rear. If you don't like the diameter changes for some reason (it doesn't matter spit) then use ForScan to tweak the values.

Unless you're wed to 10f/11r, just run 10/10 et35 or 40.
