my DW's stuck pretty damn well for a summer tire down in 34F earlier last month. :p

I'm assuming you're keeping the same aspect ratio, then going to 245/50 gives you a speedo difference of like 2.9%. You can use any tire size calculator to compare the difference and see. I think most recommend staying within 3% of stock so this is at the upper limit.

Does anybody have experience with changing their tires to the all seasons? I would like to see if someone actually changed the Yokohama sports to the all season tires and if this makes a difference.

bijou there's a night/day difference between summer and all season tires unless you get the pilot sport a/s tires. even so you get a tad more squirm.

a/s isn't great in any season.

Thanks Kenchan

Eh, this blows. I need to get new tires since my rears are shot, and I wanted to get the DW in size 265/35/19F and 285/35/19R, however my local tire shop says that they won't be able to get in the 265's until mid-June, because they are a new size. Tirerack also shows them as out of stock.

I can probably run another 3 weeks on my rears, before the innermost portion of tread is worn completely.

So my options are either:
A) Choose a different size, but none of the other sizes seem to match up as well.
B) Run mismatched for a few weeks (hopefully that's all!), and keep the Hankook's on the front until the 265's are in stock.

Advice?

i would just use the stock sizes if tirerack has them. they grip super well for a street tire imho... i hated the looks in the beginning but after looking at them the last 2+ months it doesnt bother me now. (was not a fan of rounded sidewalls). i run the DW's.

otherwise i'd consider the S04 or the Pilot's onzedge got recently in stock size. :)

Meh, stock size is lame! :rofl2:

really? hahaha... i likes my stock sizes. :tup:
