I'm going to order some Hankook Ventus V12s given their overall pretty good reviews and improved treadlife over the Bridgestones.

My plan is to get 255/40/19s for the front and 285/35/19s for the rear, which will give a bit wider tread on both axles. But I came across a warning on the TireRack website for the front tires. At that size, they are actually XL load rated. TireRack warns that it may yield a harsh ride (I think they require a higher tire pressure...40something psi).

So, any problems with using an XL tire? This is definitely the size I want, but I don't need problems.
