Michelin Pilot Super Sport size question
 
I have a 2013 touring with sports package on stock rims. I want to get Michelin PSS tires for my car since the reviews say they are quiter and basically amazing. After searching I keep finding difference sizes and am not sure which size to get. Or, if I can even keep the stock tire size. Any help would be great, thanks.

255 35 19 on the front and 305 30 19 on the rear fit oem nicely. 265 on the front will also fit nicely.

Any idea what would be quiter?

They are quieter then stock and don't make that horrible noise when you make a u turn.

They also come in stock sizes if that is what you want.

What are the stock sizes for my car? I tired searching that and for a few different answers...

My current original tires say front 245/40 rear 275/35. But, when I go on tire rack it gives me different sizes then that.

245/40YR19 (front) and 275/35YR19 (rear) BridgestoneŽ PotenzaŽ RE050A high-performance tires

I'll call my dealer on Monday to order some but I'm guessing I'd just get Michelin PSS in that size?

Why does that size suck? What would I be gaining/loosing by going to a size other than stock? As you can probably tell I'm pretty unfamiliar with tires...
I was going to call one of my local deals, discount tire, and les schwab to get different prices. Is there something I should look out for?
If it matters I'd rather then be a little quiter than have extra grip.

It depends on what size other than stock you go with. 265 front 285 rear will provide more grip overall. By closing the width difference between front and rear, you will great a more neutral handling car, but it will be more susceptible to oversteer. So it depends on what you want out of your car. If all you care about it noise and noise only, just get stock sizes...

Makes total sense, thanks. I think for me I use my car so little on the track if ever that I'd just go with stock sizes.

I just got 245/40 & upgraded the rear to 285/35,just nice..

I have stock size PSS. No complaints about them and they look better than the stock size Potenzas. Have though about upsizing next go around though. Anybody have any pictures of sport package wheels with 265/285 35?

Got my Michelin PSS (went with stock sizes) installed and have been driving on them for a day or two now. Seems to be a good tire, appears to have more grip than the stock tires. I'd definitely recommend them. However on I-5 around Seattle they sound pretty much just as loud as my Bridgestones did. I'll have to be honest, it's more the road than anything else. I-5 has to be on of the worsts around.
