Thanks! Is this square set-up ok for the rear wheels on the non R? I'm in Atlanta so the regular tires are fine year round - although not really fun in the cold.
I've been told that the 10mm difference will be barely noticeable and will work fine for a cold season tire. I think some people here are doing it already.

You'll be fine. That's a great deal. And say what you want about Pirelli but Sottozeros are pretty darn good.
Thanks! I'm thinking it over pretty hard. Since it never snows here it's more about the softer tread at cold temps.

At colder temps winter tires are well worth the money. I'm adamant about having winter tires for any car I own. With it never snowing by you it's not as needed, but if temps are constantly below 32, you'll see a huge increase in drive ability.

Just be aware that they are 2012 manufacture. May not matter, to some,
others it might. Not starting a debate on old date tires, but if you plan on
keeping them 4-5 seasons or more , it may matter.

Tire rack warranties their tires for 5? years I think

295/30-19 square setup all around for wet/winter and normal use is fine on the non-R stock wheels. The rear wheels at 19x11 will still accommodate the 295's without stretching it beyond risk. I even thought of doing a square 295 setup on my stock wheels until the 305's popped up on sale.

The rear on the non r is only 10.5". I snatched up the rest of those contiforce tires that were on sale. Can't beat 4 for the price of 1 1/2.

Actually... the 2015-2017 OEM non-R wheels are 19x10.5" in the fronts... while the rears are 19x11"

In any case, it's fine to do a square setup... whether 295 or 305. The F & R stock wheels can accommodate either/or.

Damnit well, I stand corrected. What do you think the widest tire you could fit on the rear rim and use it effectively at the track? Tire rack had the conti's even cheaper in 325

Widest on the stock rear can be 325's.... I have the 325/30 Contis for my rear R-spec 6GR wheels but they're 19x11.5 like the R. The 305's for your stock rears is fine... that square setup is good. I have the same 305 square setup of Contis which I'll mount on my stock non-R wheels when the MPSS are done. Yes I bought like 8 tires from tirerack... six 305/30's and two 325/30's. :D
