Who makes a good 215/35/19

I tried Sunny...only lasted about 4-5 months with the routine flipping and balanced out correctly. Need something with thicker edges.

Believe nankang makes one and I'm always happy with nankangs.

Falken also makes one but it's shit and bubbles up like crazy.

Toyo has a T1s in that size but it's money....

Nankangs seem to work great, some have had good experience with Achilles.

do you have any pictures of your sunnys? I wanna see the stretch.

I had a hard time finding 215, but get the nankangs or direzzas. They stretch great and last a while. But they are pricey compared to sunny/achilles

Your best bet would be NSII Nankang. Sunny sucks and are loud as crap. Federal 595s are a good tire but run super fat. Falken 452 arent that cheap and bubble. Hankooks fit well but they wear out weird. Achilles would have been best overall but like you said they dont make 215s.

Genetic...Ill post the pics of Sunnys on my 19x9....They look good but seem to have thinner edges or wear out quick...still trying to figure it out. my 225/35/19 Nitto Nt555 lasted 1 1/2 years...thats why I am trying to find a cheap pair that will last at least a year. Oh, the Sunnys arent noisy btw but then again the LS seems to be quiter inside than my 1st gen gs.

I'm in the same boat. I had Nankangs for a little bit, and Fullway (yeah..) and I want something that isnt a second sub in my car, any suggestions?

Don't forget generals and federals run large, you'd be better off running a quality 225/35 like hankook V12s that run true.

I need a 225 that runs small or a 215 that runs a little large. the Sunnys size was good just not the wear.

Kumho edges are too square...but who knows they may be worth a try.maybe thats what I need. The camber wear will round them out.:shrug:

So far been very happy with nankangs, on my second set. Only problem I have is the 225/35 stretched too much for my liking on my 19x10, so I'll be doing 235/35 Achilles to test them out.

Achillies run bigger than nankang. So you should be safe with 225/35s again.

Since they don't make 215/35/19 Achilles ATR, anyone tried the Achilles Winter 101 in that particular size?? Seems unsual that they'd make a winter tire in that size though and not with the ATR.

Looks like most retailers are in Europe, but there's some that are local in the U.S.

I ran a set of diamondbacks about a year ago and now am ready to replace again, but I believe diamondbacks are no longer around. Anyways the diamondbacks were dirt cheap and way more awesomer than nankangs and falkens combined. If I could Only get my hands on another set of those
Goodluck
