I'm relatively new here - just last year I picked up a 2014 Q60 red sport.
I really didn't like the look of the 225s splayed out to the rims. They were due for replacement so I went up a size.

I put 245/45ZR19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires on the stock 19"x8.5" rims. Only about 2% bigger, so they are within the often recommended increase of 3%.

So far...

• love the look
• like the slightly softer ride (also part of the goal)
• a little bit more body roll - but still corners like it's on rails
• way less tire noise vs. worn out Yokohamas
• no darting (winters are 245/45R18 Michelin X-Ice)
• speedo is bang on vs. phone GPS

Now the pictures I promised. Hope this works.



Love the new stance.

Old vs. new

Old splays out from tread to rim

 

HI. Can an @adminatmyg37 move this post? I meant to post in the G37 Coupe section.
