19" tire question for Track/AutoX junkies

I see some of you are considering 19" wheels.
What are the tires you are thinking of?

I was trying to get the Extreme summer tires (so I can drive to and from track without towing tires) and square set up for all 4 corners, so my options were
285/35/20 - Potenza RE070R or Hankook RS3


If you guys know of some nice street tires that would work great on track in size 19", please share the info. Thanks!!

19": Bridgestone RE71R, Yokohama AD08R, Hankook RS3, Bridgestone RE11 (in that order).

20": Hankook RS3 (only real autox/track street tire for 20's).

Take the change in gearing and slightly off speedo and go to the 26.6" overall diameter from the stock 27.6". Jump to the 19's.

If you run F/Stock(class for 2016 SS) you have to maintain the 8.5 in
front and the 9.5 in rear wheels. For 20 in, you might as well stay with the
Goodyear runflats as there are no real extreme options like with the
19 in wheels. The goodyears are actually pretty good, especially
on transitions, like in a salomon due to the stiff sidewalls and fit on the
wheel. The real problem is the car needs wider tires due to the engine
torque. However no more F/Stock.
I ran my car last month and did okay. Probable will go to 19 in wheels
and Bridgestone RE-71s after I check out the car with the new factory lowering springs and shocks.

At the Las Vegas chapter they list it as F/Stock, even though the rules say F/Street. However they use the F/Street class rules and car list.
Not sure why.
