I'm still undecided between the Potenza Sports amd the new continental Sportcontact 7, leaning towards the contis, The Michelin's not available in matching sizes in my country.

My new tyres should be arriving in a week or so.

I went with 245 & 275 but now starting to get a little nervous after seeing conflicting reports of rubbing. I'm on stock F Sport wheels and ride height.

Time will tell.

I run 245 and 275 and have not heard any rubbing or any issues whatsoever; i'm on my 4th set of 245 front 275 rear tires for my car. I don't think I'm ever switching back to stock sizes, even if they are easier to find now.

​245/40 and 275/35?

Thats reassuring to hear as I've been contemplating changing my order and just sticking with the stock sizes.

Yep, just a size larger that stock sizes on both the front and rear, 245/35/19 and 275/40/19. I just bought new Michelin as4 tires front and back.

P.S. if you check my post history in this thread I posted pictures of the fit of the tires as well

​​​​​​Yeah, yours looks great, but I've been scouring every thread I can find relating to this on the forum and saw conflicting reports so made me a little hesitant.

Ultimately went with the Potenza Sports.

I think 245/275 rubs with spacers, that’s what I’m running and I rub

15mm front & 20mm rear spacers
