Default Quick Question Pilot sport A/S

I am planning to get Micheline Pilot Sport A/S for my GS, I checked out the specs and noticed that 245/35/19 has the same overall diamiter as a 285/30/19, anyway will that set up fit?. I currently am running P-zero 245/35/19 f on 8.5" wheel, and 275/30/19 r on 10" wheel I was gonna put this in the wheels fourm but it is a question for only the GS series.

Yes it'll fit the rears, but definitely not the fronts. BTW, nice choice in tires.

It should fit....245/35/19 for 8.5" fronts and 285/30/19 for 10" rears. Now just worry about the offsets so that you don't rub. I would prefer 275/30/19 on the rear....its only 0.2" shorter than the front diameter.

BTW....Captain Bone is selling (4) *Brand New* Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires (245/35/19) for $900 shipped. Two tires for $450 shipped in Continental. US. Great opportunity to save $$$$$$.

Caveat - Excellent choice of tires....Treadwear=400 / Traction=AA / Temp=A. I just ordered a set yesterday.

Default Thanks for your input.

I ordered 245/35/19 f 275/30/19 r. I always use those sizes anyway, I was just asking because of the fact that for the pilot sport a/s 285 was the same overall diameter as the 245 which was kind of different. most of the time 275 is the closest for 245, and 285 is the closest to 255. One thing I would like to try is 255 / 285 set up, has anyone done that without rubbing in the front?.

I dont know anyone that has done the 255/285 tire setup...but Im sure they are out there.

Ask Manaray, GS4Will, Brandon@TR, or any other wheel guru.
