Really sick of these crap stock tires... basically it'll break lose at will almost... and I'm only at 12k miles. The VDC loves to kick on prettymuch all the time, that's really my only dislike about this car compared to my former tin can on wheels wrx...

I'm set on the PSS, but I have a few questions:

Is there any agreement on the most stable for high speed cornering setup/predictability?

Would going 255/35/19 on the front and 295/30/19 rear the best option?

Suggestions on PSI settings?

Is the trade off with going wider in the back, really just for extra traction off the line, but you give up higher speed stability by not keeping the width the same?

Novice here!!!

Ready to hit the buy button!!! Open to suggestions/opinions as I'd like a predictable setup resulting in the least amount of annoying vdc intervention...

I do trackdays with my PSS's. :driving: :D Have no problem with stability. I run 35~36 psi in both front and rear.

Square setup is the best for cornering/predictability. Plenty of discussion related to this in the track section.

PSI keep what you have on your door. A little less will get you a little more traction but lose some cornering predictability. The opposite for a little more psi.

Wider rear is really for straight line drag style acceleration.

There are a number of people who feel that off the line acceleration is more a suspension issue then a tire issue for our car.

How do they hold up??

About 10,000 miles and 12~14 trackdays. Replaced the rears. They wore on the inside. The outside had plenty left. The fronts still have about half tread left.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

Tirerack is saying "estimated delivery 4-10-2015" for the 295-30-19's

Any alternatives I should consider? Down to 4/32's according to the stealership...

Well, losing 1-2 psi a day, and don't want to deal with fix-a-flat or the baboons with wrenches at Les schwab... so I just ordered a stock replacement setup, pilot super sports of course!

Maybe in a year I'll try out the wider setup... for now it'll be PSS 245/275's. Doubt I could be unhappy compare to the bridgestoners...

The 285's and 295's are on backorder / not avail for another month...

Thanks everyone for the input!

Seems like the 275's are also now on a national back order for us here in Canada, apparently none in the US to bring up here either as per Michelin. :(

thought canada and france were like family? :ugh:

:icon18:

They are family! The U.S. is that cousin that the family secretly doesn't like lol

Tires are installed!

Night and Day difference in prettymuch every way compared to stock!

Also, I noticed they are the tires that come stock on the Alpina bmws.

For use in Oregon, I couldn't be happier with them as a daily setup!

Thanks everyone for the comments/feedback/guidance!

Looking at buying these with 265/35/19 in the front and 295/30/19 in the rear. I'm lowered on KW V3's about 1 inch with SPL arms. No spacers. Does anyone know if I would have an issue with possible rubbing? I am willing to sacrifice some ride heighth to accommodate the larger tires though.
Thanks for any help!

Good job, man. Nice Z also.

MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tires ?
