yea i wish the pilot super sports came in 285/35/19 but they dont. I would rather go with 295s in the rear rather than 275s but not sure how much of a difference the 35 30 thickness would look compared to my stock 40 35 setup. I am at stock ride height and dont plan on dropping my car anytime soon.

nice. you even run 18's


i think the new pilots in 275 will stick better than the advans in 285. oem tires are usually chosen for durability when under-inflated. even the base RE050A and RE050 PolePositions perform completely differently even though they appear to be the same tire.

also 285/35/19 on base is imo too short and will emphasize wheel gap in the rear especially when running wider wheels.

anyway choose the tires you like. id go with stock base size (245/50/19 & 275/35/19) even if the wheels are 19x9 19x10.5.
big sticky tires will actually slow the car down when it reaches a certain point.
