That's what I ran on my previous ISF. I'll likely go back to that setup on my new one once the current tires wear out.

yes for michelins but some people are rocking 285/30/19 if that tire supports it. its either 275/30/19 or 285/30/19 for the rear.

I got 245/35/19 front and 275/30/19 rear in PSS, I think perfect size for '12 F rear rims is 285/30/19 but I think PSS don't comes in that size, it comes in 275's then 295's in 30/19

Hi, and welcome to the site, I can see that you joined about a month ago. Anyway, there are many threads in this section of the forum concerning Tire brands and sizes.

I'm running 245/35/19 and 285/30/19 Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position. I like 'em a lot.

I have an 08 and I'm running 245 front and 255 rear Michelin PSS.

The square-er set up along with more rigid sway bar really neutral the car out.

Calling PSS the "best for performance" is a stretch. There are quite a number of street legal tires with better performance... of course at the expense of tire life. IMO the PSS is the best mix of performance and treadlife on the market at the moment, but I still wish Michelin would offer something between the PSS and their Pilot Sport Cup (streetable competition) tires.

245/35/19 and 285/30/19 on stock 2008 wheels. Tire is Vredestein Ultrac Vorti. A great combination of traction, tread life and quite ride. I found they are hard to get but less expensive than the PSS. I have run Michelin PS2s and the Vredestein Ultrac Sessenta in the past and find I like these the best. http://www.vredestein.com/car-tyres/...ac-vorti/info/

LOL I got my head cut off when I joined and asked the same question. LOL

oh well. You should be fine with those sizes. The front will look a little chunky and will add a touch more wheel gap ( yes, I can tell the difference) front and rear. I have been on a racetrack with the oem sizes and they do pretty damn well. Just sayin since I have actually used them at 10/10ths

245/35/19 275/30/19 PSS here and I'm very pleased. Spent a day at the Tail of the Dragon recently and was pleasantly surprised with their performance even with 18k on them.
