On Max Summer tires,,,the higher the treadwear # the longer they last (supposed to)
You can go either 275 or 285/35's in Michelin PS4's @ #300 treadwear...They're supposed to be the best...read up on reviews.
You have a lot of option's out there.

If this is not your daily, then expensive ps4's is a waste of money. They are on average 50-100 dollars more than the next greatest tire in the category.

Continental has a good one & is less expensive, are you going 275 or 285/35 square?

Tire life,grip,quiet...that’s why I said ps4’s.
RE11’s grip & don’t last (unsure road noise)
Nitto Invo’s live on the front of mine,grip (summer/warm weather),and really ride good & quiet.
Different Strokes for Different Folks...I gotta get A/S for the cold around here & put my base wheels on...I’m either going F1’s Eagle A/S or Michelin A/S 3+
Then most likely PS4s for my 19’s in the spring.

Tires haven't been out long enough for this to be accurately compared yet.

PS4 275/35/19 is 290 each

Conti Extremeconti is 240 each

Nitto Invo is around 240

Firehawk Indy500 (bridgestone) - 180
^ very good ultra

SS_Firehawk seems to be pleased with his Continental’s, and the appearance & construction is very similar to the Michelin- unsure where they’re built.
Bridgestone (whom owns Firestone) has a good tire also; they can be a bit on the heavy side,like the Nitto’s.

You might want to look at Bridgestone S-04's...very sticky, not great tread life, fairly quite, cheaper than the Michie PS4 and last longer than RE-11's

Personally, I'm going with the PS4's next set.

What tire size for square setup on 19 inch rays?

Deals gap type running, keeping in mind that I want to be able to rotate them

Better not run PSS’s this time of year; too cold.

Stock ride height; either 275 or 285/35’s +about a 25 or 30mm spacers on rear.
Or you can get lower profile & go 285/30’s...unsure if you plan to lower in the future?
