I need to replace the tires, the originals are still on it (crazy!).

I understand that the original tire size is
F - 245/35/19
R - 265/35/19
The recommended tires are: MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S

Since this car won't see wet roads, I was hoping to switch the tires to MICHELIN PILOT SPORT CUP 2's.

And maybe a slightly more aggressive set-up, such as:
F - 255/35/19
R - 275/35/19

The car does not have any suspension modifications. Therefore, I am hoping there will be no rubbing issues with the slightly bigger size. I ran these tires on my GT4 and loved them - super grippy!

Is anyone running these on their 1M and has an input?

Is anyone running this tire size on stock suspension, any input on that?

Thank you!
Should have no/ minimal problem with bigger size—I have Conti ECS in that size;would be leery of Cups for street because pick up everything like the gum they are and stick TOO well for fun on street IMHO
