Subject asks it all. Which size is best:
215/35zr/19
225/35zr/19
235/35zr/19

The 215's cost about $100 less than the 225 and 235s. So those would be my choice. But which are best allaround. Also I'm gettin them from tires.com, best deals I can find.
 
If you are getting an 8" wheel width, go with 235's. Hell I would go full 245". THe problem with buying 19" is the cost of the tire. 215 might be cheaper, but get the most out of your wheel and go with 225 and up.
 
Get the 235's, they will give you a larger area of grip and a slightly larger side wall protecting your rims from bending if you hit a large hole, pot hole or things of that nature, wiht a 215/35 your rims would be doomed for sure.
