Question I searched...who is running 245/40/19?

I see some people are running 245/45/18 with no issues, some are but could not find anything on the 19s. Very happy the Michelin Supersports and PS3's are finally rolling in. Had PS2s on the 2GS but its no longer tracked and I don't drive as aggressive and was tired of the #)()$(#)(#$() wait for the new Michelins (as well as the 220 tread life) so slapped the Pilot Sport A/S plus on there recently for less grip (but a 500 tread life).

I want to experience the new Michelins even though I don't drive as hard as I used to. So now I'm trying to decide do I go with a 35 or 40 series with 19" wheels. Anyone here with that setup on 19s? I think Eyezack has that but his wheels are 19x7.5 and mine are 19x8.5.

Sizes are still an issue with these tires but I should be okay. Part of me is saying just get more PS A/S lol

Thanks everyone.

Interesting. I was thinking exactly the same thing. 245/40/19 front and 255/40/19 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sport on F-Sport 19s.

Yeah I remember you waiting for them as well. Haven't seen much feedback on the new ones on luxury sedans yet....I appreciate that the SS rating is now 300 vs the PS2 220 but I'm still trying to balance how do I drive and maybe going with PS3 or even A/S...

SMH....it was easier when I was young I would just buy some cheap Kumhos

For me it is down to Michelin PSS or Bridgestone S-04 PP. I drive hard and I don't care about treadlife.

I am curious about the Bridgestone, especailly since they are on the LFA..... though Michelin has that really good warranty program...and they had a $50 rebate last month.
