We use Michelin a lot, I recommend them over any.

We've also used Continental EC DW and they're also pretty good. I think they have a 325 /19

I have invos on my camaro. Great street tires, good on wet surfaces as well. What I like most is the comfort and low noise even at highway speeds.

I never had my car on a track, so I can't comment on their track performance.

Most of the guys are using rivals and falken. I really only see Michelin pilot sports on the modern cars, mostly vettes mainly because that's what they come with

For a street driven car go with the Michelins. The softer compound tires will throw a lot of stones because the stones stick to them and chip the heck out of your paint.

Pilot Super Sports are great tires, you won't regret it.

X2 on the Invos. Had them on my daily driver and would buy another set in a flash. Wore well and did not get noisy when they had a bunch of miles on them.

Be cautious on the rim diameter too. Myself I went 18x12 for the rear to run a 335 tire and I think my only choice was BFG Rivals! I don't think Michelin, nitto, or falken make a 335-30-18

I have michelin ps2 on my car. Best all around tire that you can buy. The problem with your setup is that they do not make the ps2 in a 325/30/19 in a non runflat. now they do make them in the super sport. Being in the tire business for 9 years i would tell you that you will love them. They hook great once warmed up some and handle great in the rain. quality control with michelins are second to none.

Do I want the 95Y or the 99Y load rating for my 69 Camaro?

See what the front load index is and pick the closer one that matches
