Default Tire brand/size help.

Hey guys,

Just purchased new wheels for my '10 AWD GS (stock height) and now I'm on phase two....tires.

Was wondering what are my best tire options...what are your favorite brand and tire sizes.


Here are my wheels specs:

19x9 (all around)
+38 offset (all around)


Thanks in advance for the help everyone!

I think you will find a consensus that most tires by Bridgestone and Michelin are going to be the best, although priciest... Tons of other good options... I'd recommend asymmetrical tires - they tend to wear better and more evenly on our cars... 255/35-19 or 245/35-19 are two sizes that would be perfect for your car... I'd do the wider tire on the 9" wheel if it were mine...

The size I would recommend is 245/35R19 and you never indicated if you were in need of an all season or summer tire. I would recommend the Continental Extreme Contact DWS for an all season and the Michelin Pilot Super Sport for a summer. I have attached links for both below.

Hope these help!

Thanks guys for the help!

I think I'm going to go with the all season 245/35's.
