Pirelli Nero series, or if you want that round look with quite a lot of performance then Pilot Super Sport...
I've always had luck with Neogen's and they tend to stretch really well.
I'm running 215/40-18 Nitto Neogen's on my 9.5" without a problem.
I actually also like the NT-05 for track days primarily for the price. They are about as good in the dry as the RE-11's, better than the PSS but tend to get a bit noisy on the highway at certain speeds once they start to wear down.
The general consensus was that 235/40 should fit just fine with no rubbing on stock wheels and suspension. Do keep in mind, PSS tires are a tad wider than stock Pirelli.
While 255/35/19 still worked just fine, I feel that 245/35/19 is the best set up on a 19x8.5 rims. the outer lip of the tires will protect the rims, as the 245 tires will not be stretched on 8.5 rims.
Ended up ordering the last set of Pirelli Sottozero 3s in the country from tire rack. I'm getting them installed today.
I thought the Pirellis were smoother and quieter than the Dunlops (all new cars here), but now that I am reading about how bad they become, maybe I am better off with the Dunlops
I have Pirelli P4's... I love the tread warranty - expecting that I'll get 9,000 miles out of them. But I find that I'm losing traction more often than I'd like when I accelerate, and make turns.
Similar story: a lovely pothole seemingly gave me a flat (felt really jarring) on one of my Pirelli Sottozero 3s. Was flat within 10 minutes...Turns out the pothole actually cracked the rim (which caused the flat) and then the short time I drove on it mostly flat, had ruined the sidewall on the tire as well.
