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!

The bigger rubber is slightly heavier and bigger rolling diameter. Car might feel a little slower. Also I had stock size Sport Cup 1s and they took a bit to warm up. The Suoersports were better cold. Once Sport cup warmed up they were great. Maybe Sport Cup 2 better warm but FYI these track type tires can get you in trouble cold.
