Great selection and the profile on the rims looks spot on too - nice pictures!

This tire/size combination is on my list for my first tire replacements on my 2014 - when I installed Michelin PSS on my Supra last year, the new road feel was awesome.

am looking forward to this upgrade on my IS F (which can with OEM Pilot Sports on them).

Thanks buddy. The SA67R's are my favorite aftermarket wheels for the IS-F, you made a great choice on that combo. The updated '12+ IS-F wheels went up half inch front and rear. 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 so not quite as wide as your SA67Rs.

Thanks.

Guessing that's why you need the 15mm spacers?

Looks great though dude.

Well for 2012 when Lexus widen the rims, they kept the same tire sizes for some reason. I always thought the stock tires look almost stretched on the OEM '12 wheel. I got the 15mm spacers to push the wheels out a little to make the tires look more flush with the fenders. Now that I have the wider tires AND the 15mm spacers, it almost looks too flush lol. Although I have no issues at all so far, no rubbing or noises ect, I was thinking maybe going down to 10mm spacers or even removing them completely.

Makes sense.

Think they look pretty dang good as they are!

Maybe a 10mm spacer would be better though.

I think the 15mm looks great and that is the perfect size tire for the stock wheels. Congrats.

Just curious here since I bought my 2012 used.. Do not mean to get off the subject, but I sure like the Michelins shown in the photos....

.I read that the OEM tires were
Bridgestone Potenzas or Michelin Pilot Sports PS2..

At Discount Tire these PS2's were about $100. more for each tire than the PSS..

30,000 mile warranty for the PSS

and only 20,000 mile warranty for the PS2...

Mine came with new Yokohama W rated Tires instead of the better Y rated tires..
after only 11,000 miles mine evidently needed new tires..

Anyone installed the PS2's ? Or are they not worth the money? I want to upgrade also to Michelins one of these days...

Cheers and I love these ISF's!!!

Half the price it looks like is why the BMW dealer installed them I guess after my car was traded in.

^^^^The PSS is a later generation of the PS2. IOW, the PS2, though a very good tire, is obsolete and has been replaced by the PSS.

Looks very nice, thinking of upgrading to that size. Noticed that it was mentioned newer ISF wheels are wider, i have the 08 wheels. Saw a post stating that setup on 08 wheels doesn't feel right, please specify what do you mean. I am not interested in the looks but for performance, will the car benefit from this setup on track? What setup is the ISF CCS R running? Man wish there were identical replica parts of the club version available for a decent price, would sell like hot cakes.

Lexus CCS-R specs say 245 front 255 rear however i find pictures of the tires on the car read otherwise rear 265/35 https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f/638785-the-wait-is-over-lexus-isf-ccs-r-arrives-in-the-usa-live-pics-and-video-from-ppihc.html#PhotoSwipe1424466446165

Thx OP.....I'm having 245/30/20 and 285/25/20 installed next week.

I think the PSS was the best investment ever made...

I mean I had these on my G35 and now on my F and you can't go wrong.

Don't think twice about not getting them ... Pretty much all new Porsches come stock with these tires as standard equipment.

I am running the same size PSS's with '14 wheels. Works great. I wouldn't do the spacers but that's a long discussion about suspension geometry. The only downside is they like to push in the front under wet or low traction conditions at high steering angles where the OEM sizes do not.

Installed PSS yesterday, and what a difference!

SO much softer feel than the Falkens before. Hasn't rubbed once (had 245/35/20 and 285/30/20 before, running 245/30 and 285/25 now). Feels much more like a 2012 than the brutally harsh ride I had before. Couldn't be happier.

Yeah I'm going to run these tires from now on, love, love, love them. For daily driving and spirited street driving, they don't seem to have any compromises. Quiet, comfortable, very sticky, and tread wear seems to be very good according to owners. They also look good as a bonus, lol.

They seem to get stickier as I put more miles on them, I went to a deserted road last night to do a couple of test launches and my F actually bogged off a 1000 rpm launch with traction control complete disabled Tried it again at 1500 rpms the the car rocket off like my AWD STi.

If I did the same launch on the stock Bridgestones it would have blown the tires away 1st and 2nd.

Just to be sure, I do not have spacers on the 2012 OEM rims, would I run into issues with the 245/35/19 & 275/30/19 the OP has? Need front tires so I am planning on a set of PSS's. Car is at stock height, just don't like to OEM stretched look.

Thanks.
