tire size help
 
I'm currently running 19s on my car with General Exclaim tires. my front tire recently blew up so I need a replacement. the tire numbers are: 235/30/19. I was gonna get a new set of wheels... go back to 18s since 19s are too heavy, but I don't have that kind of money right now. So, i need a new tire; however, I cant seem to find general exclaim tires with those configurations. I did find General G-max with the same configurations (but these are all season tires - no summer, which is what Exclaim is). My question is whether i should get the G-max tire? Or, is there a similiar configuration (to 235/30/19) that I can buy in the Exclaim model, which wouldnt make the car ride in a messed up way.

I suggest that you get a new set (4) of high quality tires, and get away from that brand altogether . It's still cheaper than buying a new set of wheels and tires .

Certainly no getting - a tire. You need 4 but, at the minimum 2 new front tires.

Falken 912 is a good inexpensive tire that does not scream "I bought a car I can't afford to properly maintain".

I have the Falken 612's and I like them very much. Smooth ride with very good grip in dry and wet weather. Haven't seen much snow lately here in Florida.

Here are some rims in Florida:

I've been a Falken fan for years. For the first time in 11 years in Maryland, I invested in snow tires: Falken Eurowinter. Great tire! Quiet, decent dry grip for a winter tire, and excellent in snow.

Have you tried the Falken 452?

That's what I wear in the summer. Lots of complaints about treadwear but I've got about 15000 on them with lots of tread left.

I just got all of 8k miles on the rears with Hankook Evo V12s and 7k miles on the Yoko S-Drives. I am interested to see what kind of mileage I get from the Falkens. I may as well start changing rear tires when I change the oil.
