Hi,

Just got a certified pre owned GS 350 RWD. Loving it so far.
Probably an early worry but thinking about when my tires would be replaced.

As you guys know the F sport RWD has the staggered setup. 19*8 at the front and 19*9 at the rear.
235/40R19 (front), 265/35R19 (rear)

Are you guys maintaining that setup when you change tires? Options seem to be very limited for that setup. Is there any issue with fitting 240s all around? It seems to be cheaper and I might actually go for all season tires.

 

Maintaining overall diameter (so i dont mess up my speedo too much) and sidewall height are what's impt to me. Google 'tire calculators' to check out specs on diff combo's.

 

Go for the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I have had these before and they are worth it. They actually aren't much different in price from the RE050A's that come on the car, actually.

 

Read around a bit after my question and some suggestions were running slightly up sized tires on the staggered setup. 245/40/19 in front and 275/35/19 in the rear. There seem to be some good all seasons for that size. I don't mind putting down a grand for tires but want them to last at least 30k miles.

 

Anyone running that setup?
245/40/19 in front and 275/35/19 in the rear. Is it recommended and safe compared to the stock size?

 

My BMW setup was this pairing. It is the correct pairing to maintain rotations between axles. It will certainly work if it firs on the rims.

 

Did you ever go for this setup after all?

I am thinking to do the same on my stock wheels, and would love to see some pics if you got any!

 

I have this setup and everything works well.
