Sorry to cut in on your thread, but I am looking for the same info for my particular application. I have learned a lot from this and other threads and did some research into tire sizing, but still have a few questions. I am running the stock 19" sport wheels with no spacers and currently have the stock RE050 tires on. They still have a little life left on them but I have 27k miles on them and want to get something with better grip for the next set. My 370 has been my primary daily commuter and is almost all freeway miles, with just a couple track days/autocross on her. I just bought another commuter car so the 370 will become more of a fun car now. I still don't want to change my wheel setup, but want stickier tires for both autocross and track days (just a couple times a year). I tried to find Nitto NT01's or Toyo RA1 or R888's, but it looks like they don't make them any of them in a size that would work well on my 19" wheels. I have narrowed it down to Nitto NT05 (in 275/35/19 all around), RE11, AD08, or Hankook Ventus V12 (cheap). I don't mind paying more or dealing with noise; grip is the primary concern. Of these choices, which would you suggest? Can I really run up to 285/35/19 all around on my stock Sport 19" wheels without rubbing?
