Not to chime in from out of nowhere - and not sure if you want to stick to 19's or have 20" wheels available, but if you have some 20" wheels, take a look at the GY Supercar F3s.

I know that the older supercar tires kind of have a bad rap, especially the run flats, but I do a bit of autocross and road coarse work myself, and my car came with these (18' 1LE) and they have serious side bite. Especially when it gets warm.

I have a group of friends that I hit these events with, and my car is by far the most on power (E85 and a blower) so I am challenged right out of the gate, but I hold my own. What is most interesting (they run the autocross - "cheater" 200TW tires like the Bridgestones), when the weather gets hot, their tires really get greasy. The SCF3s get better and better, especially when the weather is over 90deg.

They were really designed for Road Coarse not AutoX, with the difference being heat. I think the tires like the RE-71R and Rivals, which are focused on AutoX work extremely well in short runs at lower speeds, once they get hot can get greasy. The SCF3 was focused on long runs with real high speed corners. Ive pitched my car across the sweeper at BIR at 140+mph in 95 degree weather with 113 deg track temp and it is like a cat on velcro.

At times TireRack will have them on sale for $240 for 305/30R20s -
