Default Tire options for our F-sport?

What are the tire options for our f-sport rims set up? I've checked Americastire.com and tirerack.com.. there wasn't many there.

Try searching 245/40/19 Fronts and 275/35/19 Rears. I just installed Yokohama Advan Sport A/S this size on my 2015 GS Fsport.

If you have AWD I would look at the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus. A lot of got rear reviews on TireRack for this tire. Ranked #1 in the catagory.

Have any of you noticed if the stock bridgestones that come on the car get really loud road noise on the front (or rear) tires after only 10K miles or so?
I notice what looks to be very, very slight lifting on one side of the tread edge on the front tires (slight cupping?). Is that how these Bridgestones behave?

Mine were the same. The shop said my alignment was off and I sent ahead and got one after putting on the tires.

No rubbing issue in the front and rear with the larger tires?
Why did you also increased the rear size as well?

Is it safe to use 245/40/19 Fronts and 275/35/19 Rears tire set up on the 19' F-sport rims?

No issues with clearance. I went with the larger rear as it's the same height as the larger front tire.

I have 2015 RC350 F Sport rims which have the same specs as the original rims on a 2013-2016 GS350 F Sport

Here's a pic of the inside of my rear rims/tires.


Here's a pic of the outside of my rear rim/tire.
