Needing to buy a pair of tyres for my RCZ-R in 235/40ZR19. The original Goodyear Eagle F1 has been good but no stock in Australia. thinking of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S but also no stock available. Any suggestions please?
Beside the Goodyear F1, or Michelin PS4 S, or Contisport contact 5, there are also Pirrelli Sports in that size. Will have a yarn with my Tyre guy that has given good advice on other vehicles in the past.What options do you have?
How about the new Goodyear Assy 6? Or the Michelin PS4 (without the "s")?
how close are clearances with the larger size? Any noticeable difference to handling?I have just had Pirelli P zero fitted to 2 rears.
I have opted for 245/40/19 though. You get slightly more optins in that size, and only around 1% different from original (so within safety margins).
I havent had any clearance problems. 235's are 671mm diameter, 245's are 679mm diameter so only 8mm larger. Not noticed any handling differences either. I guess you would have to be at the edge of grip to notice though?how close are clearances with the larger size? Any noticeable difference to handling?
I'm considering 245/40/19 , to replace my rears, and then similar size when fronts are dueI have just had Pirelli P zero fitted to 2 rears.

I went from pilot4s to the eagle F1 asymmetrical 6 on the front, and impressed , not noticed any difference, except possibly quieter than the 4sEnded up with a full set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. 235/40ZR19 96Y XL. Very impressed. with them. Quieter than the Eagle F1s.
