Ok so heres the deal, I have ordered a set of 19" CSL Reps (8.5 front and 9.5 rear). I need to know what size tires to get, i need tires with a decent profile def no low profile tires as roads here arent amazing and i want the best ride comfort, so what sizes would you guys advise.

Oh man...where do I begin.

Ok. If you are gettign 19" rims...that requires you to use 19" tires. I'm not sure what you mean by "def no low profile tires". You've decided to go with 19" rims...you can't put 18" or 17" tires on those rims.

If you don't want low profile tires, then you should buy 18" or 17" rims and get the matching tires to boot.

As for popular tire choices here on the board: Michelin Pilot PS2, Goodyear F1 G3-D3, General UHP (cheaper alternative). Do a search...tire recommendations have been beaten to death on this forum.

I guess 235/35R19 and 265/30R19 would work for your wheels.
However you definitely are getting low profile tires on 19" wheels unless you are driving a truck.
Imagine how big the wheels are going to be if you put thick tires on 19" wheels.
