Overall diameter of your new tires is 0.8" larger than your stock size. 245/35-19 would have been a better size to match your stockers.

that tire combination will mess up your spedometer etc...thats a tall tire...like weasel said depending on your cash flow and how much tread you have on the rubber it might be wise to pick up some 245-35's. Im biased to Falken because i work for them...but invest in some azenis st115's thats a good performance rubber with great treadwear and a quiet ride. Either the azenis or the zeix 512's but there is a long wait for those tires due to a recent consumer report that rated the 512's number one.

Good luck,

Jon

They are quiet but treadwear is not that great. I've noticed from going through 2 sets of tires is that they are soft tires and they wear out quicker than other brand tires.

I believe the tread wear on the azenis 115's are 360 thats actually really good. You shouldnt be wearing out as quick as your saying....hmmmmmmm hows your alignemt etc????

as for pearlwht that actually varies...but its somewhere inbetween 6-10mph with 10 being an extreme case....let me know if you have any other specific questions..if i cant answer them ill ask the product specialist.

Alignment is good. Did not notice any uneven wear. I'm comparing to my old Nittos 450s and 555s. They lasted me at least 1 1/2 times longer than my 115s
