Default Tire help please

I have a 2017 GS350 AWD FSport with stock 235/40/19 tires (GY Assurance) which are almost at the end of their life and I am looking to replace all 4 tires…my question: would 235/50/19 tires fit without any rubbing issues? Same question but for 245/40/19. Please let me know

Many members have upsized from 235/40 to 245/40 onb both 18" and 19" OEM wheels with no issues. You will likely have no problems with that size. The 235/50 profile will be a bit "fat" for the 19" wheel setup on the GS and may cause rubbing issues depending on the specific tire brand, model, tread, etc.

If you're simply looking to replace your worn set and have a similar ride, go with the stock 235/40 or upsize to 245/40 for the least worries.

Thanks for the reply. I want to go with the Michelin Cross Climate 2. I will look into the 245/40 option

Before you replace those tires that are 'almost at the end of their life' have some fun with what's left of the rear tires!

Toyo Proxes sport A/S are really good tires.
