I am about to replace my tires on my GS F Sport, right away. I am looking for the best choice for handling, noise, and wear. I know I am asking a lot, but the side appearance is also very important. Thanks for all your input.

I replaced my Dunlop tires with Michelin Pilot Super Sports about a month ago. They make a huge difference in the way the car handles and soaks up bumps, and there is less noise. I rarely drove in Sport + in Dallas because of the rough roads prior to changing tires, but now I consistently drive in that mode. They are so good that if I trade for a '15 GS I may have the dealership transfer them over.

They do have taller sidewalls than the OEM tires, so if that isn't something you want it's best to look elsewhere. BTW, you can also do a search in the GS forum under "tires". There are quite a few posts with recommendations.

Sorry about your poor comma key, it must be dying. I've read from alot of people that the Michelin Pilot SS are great. With the F Sport's odd tire dimensions, your choices are very limited unless you have the AWD model without staggered fitment.

From what I remember about owning Michelins a long time ago, they are wonderful but wear fast. They could have changed alot over the past decade, I have used strictly Yokohama for the past 7 years at least.

Will running plus sizes like 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear ok with the car? The stock sizes are odd and the price difference is quite big.

I'm already looking for replacement tires cause I don't think my Potenzas will last that long. lol

Yeah I have 245/40R19 on my awd gs fsport with no issues. The standard tires are very odd ball size. As long as you are within 3% speedo error which you are, then you are fine

Yea, that is only 1% off, thanks man!

Pirelli have "new" tires in the AWD OEM size, for all-season. I will likely get those when the time comes.

Does anyone happen to have a pic of their car with 235/40/19 vs 245/40/19?

Pilot Super Sports... Had them on a Boxster S and will probably switch to them when my current tires go.

I am also curious if folks have pictures of a 235 40 19 VS 245 40 19 on our cars. Only thing I don't like about the Pilot's is that there is no lip for curb protection...
