Drove Vredestein Quatrac5 on 1995 and 1996 Daimler Double Sixes for many years very happy with them but now driving Bentley Conti Flying Spur with Conti ASCt2 and these tires outclass the Vredesteins comprehensively, notably in sharper steering, handling wet roads at high speed and braking especially in wet conditions. Very reassuring handling and behavior.
Highly recommended.

What drivers say about their 275/45 R19 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
I bought 4 tires from walmart web page "Sunitrac Focus 9000 275/45R19, but that was the worst purchase that I did in my entire life, 2 tires, one at front and the second one on rear didn't have yet 1200 miles on the road and already have a bombs and when I took out from my car the layers inside de tire was pillet out like paper. Really the worst tires that i have ever buy. And now just waiting for the others two tires to f-up as well
I'm on my second set of Continental Sport Contact 7s on my (non competition) BMW M4. They are by far the best tires I've ever had. Sublime grip (wet and dry), feedback and handling.
I reviewed these tires when I first had them at 1000 miles and now the car has done 17000 miles on these tires I can only state they are good very good after 17000 miles the tires still have 5+ mill in them they started off at 7.2mm tread depth and now the 4 tires are 5.52mm 5.61mm 5.36mm 5.48mm that's under 2mm used in 17000 miles
The Davanti DX640s are good value and long lasting to say the least. My setup is 245 45 19 front and 275 45 19 rear the usual staggered set for a S Class weighing in at 2,270KG kerb weight empty mine is heavier as it has the fridge and all other extras.
I have MR500's on my Mustang GT, I usually have had to replace rears at least every couple seasons especially with Pirelli's as they are the worst for wear in my opinion. These tires are amazing as far as I am concerned and you can't beat the price!!! I will buy them over and over again!
I have just changed from nexen nfera which I thought were pretty good but these new falkerns are just brilliant. 4 weeks in and I've been doing 100 Miles a day in wet heavy rain and slippery roads (same journey every day) so I can see a huge difference in the car, much better grip in dry and especially in wet, less body roll so much more confidence wen taking bends.
I installed 19 inch and tight profile but its amazing. Best one Michelin alpine 5 second one this tire. I did not stack anywhere and i did not get any problem. Just one thing should be better ice performance. Its not bad but should be better
I'm not too sure what to expect tire wear wise regarding my VW Tourag 2008 3.0 V6 TDI I have only had it 7 months. Had these tires fitted 6 months ago and had a full tracking and alignment check and adjustment..
We have just covered 8,000 miles on them and the rears are approaching 3mm rapidly, fronts are 5mm.
Tire wear is even across the axles. No inner or outer wear.
That said the performance of these tires in the dry and wet is just amazing. Its just the £700 a set for I reckon 9500-10,000 miles is worrying. But may be this is the norm.
