I see no point to shell out so much for a re-11 to only burn it up and need more down the road when 18's are lighter, cost less, and fit even big brake kits. I mean a re-11 is strictly a performace tire so why kill some of that going 19" when 18's are better all around? If you're gonna throw money away get racing 18's and keep your stock 19's with just some cheap summer tire that lasts 50,000 miles. In the end you'll come out ahead.
Last time I checked there are legit performance cars running 19's. 305/30/19 is run on all fours in the new Z28. Not every one of us is serious enough to buy a second set of wheels for an occasional track day. I disagree with your assessment but understand your argument. I live in the desert. It rarely rains and has one season, here an extreme performance tire makes sense, from safety and performance perspective.

Doesn't matter. You're still paying more for an odd size tire vs. the millions of cars that don't run 19's. 18's are great and most of the domestic market runs 20's. hence then cheaper price. If I lived where u do, i too would run that tire year round. But with a 200 rating at $300 plus per tire...it wouldn't be a 19".
