13GS

Hey Guys,

My apologies if this isn't the correct place to post this question. I am new to the forum and a complete noob lol.

I recently purchased a 2013 GS 350 F sport and I love it so far! I bought it at about 18,000 miles and now at 19,000 miles I am needing to replace the tires soon.

Seeing that the tires don't last too long with the staggered set up (not being able to rotate the tires), I am looking into unstaggering the wheels. I know the AWD F Sport has has the same size wheels all around. Would it be okay to replace the rear wheels to match the front wheel size on my RWD F Sport? Does that compromise the ride quality, mess with the suspension in any way, or void the warranty?

Thanks in advance!

Downsizing the bigger tire will reduce load carrying capacity, but assuming the most load is on the front tires due to the engine weight, you may be able to install the front tire size on the rear.
Check what size tires are used on the AWD GS350, it should be heavier than a RWD GS.
Load carrying capacity varies with air pressure, so be sure to calculate max load (weight) capacity of the tires you choose @ a reasonable air pressure for street driving. Load capacity is marked on the tire, & you need to plan for worst case scenario. (max load, ie. full gas tank & trunk, & 5 large passengers)
