    I am in the market for tires I have a Cadillac CTS and have 19 inch rims.

    I have replaced all 4 twice I had a blowout in a rear tire and I am looking to replace both rear tires.

    I am seeing prices all over the place I am used to paying about 225 to 250 for each tire and have been pretty happy.

    I am seeing prices all over the place, what should I be looking for and what manufacturer should I be wary of and what is a good midprice brand?

    Is Lexany a good brand?

    I have purchased Falkens and Bravura's before and was happy.

    I am looking to get some 255/35/19 what's the difference between 35 and 55 tire walls? ride comfort? how long do they last?

    I mainly drive on the highway not much traffic and don't need anything performance-wise, so what configuration should I be looking at ?/?/19

    I am looking for ride quality mainly and something with a medium sidewall.

    The 3 tires I have found around the same price are Continental, Nexus and Hankook.

    The Lexanny tire is half of the others and is a Nexan product so my cheap self is leaning toward them.:D

    55's will have a better ride than 35 sidewalls, all other things equal. I see Nitto Motivo's for 235 or something at discount tire and Walmart. 60000 mile warranty.

    They say to never skimp on things that separate you from the ground. Mattress, shoes, tires...
