Best Tire size and brand for ride comfort and handling

I want to know what the best tire size and company combo for ride and handling paired with rims size 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. I am looking for function more than anything and don't want my ride to suffer to much. I want a nice meaty tire that can handle and look aesthetically pleasing.

Almost all tires are a compromise between handling and comfort. Which is more important? How much or one are you prepared to sacrifice for the other? The very best handling street tires make comfort compromises, and the cushiest riding tires don't handle as well as others that perform better.

Try browsing tirerack.com and look through Grand Touring tires. OEM sport coupe sizes may possibly work best for you.

Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 is by far the best tire for the money.

If you want the best balance between grip and comfort....then you need a set of Hankook V12.

Well I'm picking my Re11s up and getting my snow tires off (Blizzak LM60), I can't wait after doing much research. Needed a tire good for track and out on the road.

But I think if you going to the track but do enjoy performance on the road, I would recommend Michelin PSS and Bridgestone S04s.

But I feel that in this case any reputable company who offers tires that are in the same category of the RE050 (OEM for G37S) is more than sufficient.
