My dealer here displays both a IS250 lowered on F-Sport springs with F-sport 19" wheels and a non-lowered IS250 with F-Sport 19" wheels. It gave me a good perspective for comparison before I lowered my car on Eibach 350 springs.

For rear tire, the 275/30/19 will match the diameter of front tire and have a nice wide footprint in back. But I agree with above posters that this is just a personal preference, and the OEM sizing is most conservative.

pisaykotik, do you have close up shot for the front? Thanks!

How is your tire wear with the PS2's?

I have about 12k miles on the PS2's now and still a lot of tread left. Haven't physically measured them though.

Thanks, I feel a little better now. Do have a front close up shot of the tires so I can compare between tires.
