Default Staggered sizing help

Okay I am finally gettting ready to place the order with tirerack for my new tires. I was originally planning on Bridgestone S03's but have recently changed my mind to Dunlop S9000. The main reason is that I can save a couple hundred dollars on a set VS the s03's and the performnce reviews seem to place them both neck an neck.

So the question is can someone verify these sizes for me

285 30 19 will go in the rear but I need to make sure that the matching front is 245 35 19 This setup is for a gs400

Thanks as soon as you guys tell me this is the right matching front, I'' go for it.

Thanks I tried to order it and the 245's are on backorder, does anyone know what the heck that means. I mean like does that mean a couple days a week or a month till they get them in?

probably means that they just don't have it "in stock" and are waiting until the warehouse gets some more.

no, sometimes it could mean the manufaturer is lagging!

call up brandon and ask him about it, that's how i got my estimate how long i had to wait. it could be weeks..

If 245 is on back order, why not try 235F and 275R, then you don't have to wait and can get the new wheels on before New Year?

well it is on backorder for a minimum of 30 days so it looks like I will have to go with the S03.


I don't want to use the 275 because I need the extra width for traction with the FI I sure wanted to Save that 200 dollars but oh well
