Decided to get the S-O4 as replacement tire for my 2010 roadster tour. A fellow forum mate suggested getting a 285/35-19 rather the 275's that came with the car for a better profile I guess. is this mechanically sound for the ride, does It make a difference, does any one have any pictures of S-04's on their ride...thanks

You'll be fine with 285s. In fact, I think the S-04s tend to run a little narrow, so the 285 is recommended over the stock 275 width. I'm not 100% sure on that, however, as I do not have personal experience with those tires. But I have run up to 305s on the rears and had a very positive experience

And FYI, it's spelled decision.
kenchan and AntiVenom like this.

yah, dat was probably me. i speak from experience. 275's are narrow on the S04's for some reason, get the 285/35/19's.

i have 2 sets of aftermarket wheels for my G that both run S04's. i was like when i saw my rear tires on one of the sets (275/35/19).
