I run Michelin PSS 235/40/19 fronts and 265/35/19 rears. I like the fitment better than the skinny, stretched 225 and 255.

here's are a couple pictures I only have now...that might show the fitment. The difference is not even enough for the speedometer to be inaccurate (compared with GPS on iphone)
But if I had known that the 255 and 285 combo would look better and not have bulged sidewalls, I probably would have gone with those. But I also wanted to keep the 40 and 35 series combo

Looks good how long did your stock tires last ? What where they the re50 or p2s
I ended up getting the 245/35 275/30 Pilot super sport
Needed new tires asap Hope it looks good

Sorry to brought the thread back from the death but my question would be if you increased you tires size then doesn't it put more stress onto Transmission and Differential (due to more weights)? I would think it's okay to increase 1 size up but not from 255 to 285. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still learning

Lol, tell that to the guys that running 30+ lbs 20" wheels. Stock wheels aren't exactly light for forged wheels. My wheels are 19x10 and 19x11 weighted in at less than 22 lbs vs stock of up to 27 lbs. My PSS tires are also 3lbs lighter than stock Bridestone
