What do you guys think about 255/35/19 on the front and 295/30/19 for the rear for the PSS? I have the sport/touring rims and will I need spacers or anything like that?

I have base with 18 inch wheels. I called discount tires and the guy said I need to keep the standard 225 on the front because of clearance, but If I wanted I could put the larger 285 on the back. Can that be done or should I just go with the matching set of 225 front and 245 on the back?

Nice! I had to order my rears from some place in California through Discount Tire. Apparently, stock sized rears are scarce right now.

I know, but stock size is plenty for me. 265/305 was another $300 or so.

You're the first to make the connection. Malkovich is the man! Love that movie! "Check, check, check! He beat me...pay that man his money."

Just bought the Pilot Super Sport's.

Stock Sport Package wheels (19" Rays), no spacers.

Front: 255/40 R19
Rear: 285/35 R19

Putting this in a calculator tells me the overall diameter increases 1.1% on the rears. And speedo will read 60, but I'll really be going 60.7 Mph. (reference)

There tires are awesome.

Im running
245-35-20 (f)
295-30-20 (r)

The rear tires was a pain to find. I had to order in Miami. The fronts were easy, but the rear was a pain. The grab one tire from a part in miami and the other one they had to order it from california to ship to miami and then ship the 4 tires to Puerto Rico

But i can give the best review about this tire. Simply love them.
- they look awesome, feel awesome and the sound of the street is barely to none.
When is wet the tire just sticks to the road.

Love them, i'll be grabbing them again
