Time to replace my tires. Have been studying a lot of posts on this forum and checking prices. Priority is grip. I live in southern Nevada and it hardly ever rains and never gets cold. Plan to auto-x a few times a year with 1-2 track days/year. Gets driven to work maybe half the time, freeway commute. I would love NT-01's but they don't make them in 19" size (I have the Sport pkg). So considering RE-11's in either 285/35/19 all around or 265/35/19 fronts with 285/35/19 rears. Still haven't heard definitively if either of these setups will work on stock Sport wheels with stock suspension and no spacers (I don't really want to add spacers). Other option is NT-05's in stock sizes (they don't make a 265 or 285 or 295). I am leaning towards the RE-11's, but would still like to know for sure if the larger sizes will fit without using spacers. Are there any better choices?
