Can't we use 255 in the back as well? I do want to rotate snow tires. Has anyone know if we can do a 245 or 255 square set up for winter tires and wheels? 275 and 255 cost so much compared to 245. Thanks.

You could even do a 235 square winter tire setup. Narrower tires do better in snow than wider tires, to a point of course.

Pretty sure they are showing two different sizes, front and rear are to fit the stock wheels which are different widths. If you get a separate set of "winter" wheels, you should be able to make a square set up in 235 or 245 easily.

They've had the Winter tire package on there a while. Doesn't look they got the updated specs on there yet.

Staying with a staggered setup, Blizzak has a 225/45-19 Fr and 245/45-19 Rr that is almost identical to the PP tire heights/diameter. If you go square, 235/35-19 by Pirelli or Dunlop would work. I ran 235/50-18s on my previous GT and it worked great.

The size of those brembos :eyebulge:
Love the Brembo's!!! Not sure if I'll replace the wheels but would be a possibility if I can get a decent price for my PP wheels, and TireRack comes up with a fatter, reduced weight option.

I'm very happy to see the Sumitomo HTR Z III tires in my sizes. I've had these on several cars and they are a great tire for the street.

I had Sumi's on my 2004 and they were just OK, and didn't last long at all. I don't think I got 25K on either set. I now spend the extra couple bucks for better, longer lasting tires from Michelin, Pirelli, etc.

Fitments Available!

Tire Rack has posted the wheel fitments on their site along with my car to model the wheels on (view on vehicle).

Was thinking about their "Advanti Racing Hy Hybis". If you (or anyone) looked at them or has an opinion, any info would be appreciated.
I love the look of those but they're just too narrow. I can't justify spending ~$1000 for wheels that are the exact same size as stock.

I'm going to wait until someone finds wheels wider than 9.5" that will fit.

My source at Tire Rack stated the TPMS units on the 2015 are different from the 2014 and earlier models, but did not elaborate what the differences are.
