I can't imagine anyone scraping up all four wheels and not remembering, there is a gut wrenching sound when I carelessly curbed on of my rear wheel. Trust me, if it was you would know.

Tires should be wider for sure. The most popular size being used is 265/35 & 305/30. This set up should provide enough meat to give your rims some protection.

Michelin and RE-11 are two of the top choices but pricey, especially in 19's. However, you cant go wrong with either one.
Very much appreciated. I suppose it is possible I overlooked the damage before purchase. That would sound more like me, then scraping the curb myself. It was used, a company purchased it as a fleet vehicle for the CEO. It was then sold back to the dealer about six months later. I then happened by it by chance at the dealership before they got it stickered and up for sale.

Once again, thanks for the information on the tires. I think the cost will be worth it. I'll get some pics once the wheels have been fixed and the new tires are on.
