    I use Sumitomo HRTZ II 17".
    I think they are a japanese tyre.
    Excellent performance in both wet and dry conditions.

    17" are about $180 each.
    dunno what 19" cost.

    You will struggle to find hard compound 19" tyres. Soft compound = more grip less mileage and the opposite for hard compound.

    19" tyres are normally for expensive cars and sports cars where maximum grip is desired so most are a soft compound.

    I use FullRun but they are horrible in the wet. Good in the dry though. Falkens are decent and cheap though.
