2015 GS F-Sport tire alternatives?
We have a 2015 GS350 F-Sport with stock 19" wheels and original Michelin 235/40x19 tires. I always thought those 235s were a bit small for this size car, when most similar cars use 245s. They will need to be replaced this fall, and I've wondered if I could install 245s with no clearance issues or confusing any of the electronic aids. Has anyone tried this? All info greatly appreciated! (No interest in changing the wheels)

The error is 1 mph or less, so something you'll never really notice. I changed to 245/40/19 on my 2013 and had no issues whatsoever. I just bought a 2018, and once the new tires wear down a bit, I'm replacing with 245's.

-Thanks for the unput; 245s it'll be. Wonder why Lexus would use an apparently undersized tire, when there is very little cost difference, and--I'm guessing--more choices available in that more-popular 245 size?

Are those the tires you sold me a few months back? Still haven't installed them, waiting on the existing ones to wear down.

I have 3k miles on the new car, so thinking when I hit around 10k I'll replace the MXM4's at Discount Tire - hoping that timing is when Dis. Tire has their Black Friday deal and I can get a decent trade-in value at the same time.
