245-30-19

[Ever.]

For the Michelin PS4S, I'm aware that main sizes people agree on are 245-35 or 255-30.

But has anyone ever tried 245-30-19? (on OEM staggered or aftermarket wheels)

Really quite short, and technically not load rated correctly. 255 or 265/30 would be a better option.

Could you expand on how those tires sizes are quite short and not "load rated" correctly?

A 255/30R19 is 25.1". 235/35R19 is 25.5". The 245/30 is 24.8". It doesn't sound like much but you will notice this when you look at the car from the side, and the odometer/speedometer will turn a little bit faster. Also less pothole protection.

Factory tires (both sizes) have a 91 load rating. The 245/30R19 Michelin has an 89 load rating.

255/35/19's are what I'm running and they fit and look much better then the oem and ride a lot better! Little bit extra squish and pothole forgiveness

Ah. Makes sense. Thanks! I was trying to avoid the 35 sidewall (on the michelins) as I thought it was a bit too meaty for my taste. I've tried 255/30 on the stock front wheels but that seemed a bit too wide for it.

Well the 255 Michelin is massive. You could try the same size in another brand and they'll be a bit narrower. But yeah if you are putting them on stock 8" rear wheel they are going to be quite bulbous looking.

Will 255/30 all around on stock wheels stock height rub on the rears at all?
