Help with tires 315/25/19

I am currently running 235/35/19 and 315/25/19 Yokohama Advan Sports. I am going to need new tires soon and was doing a search on Tire rack but was unable to find any matching pairs. Anyone else running these tire sizes and if so where and what brand of tires are you running?

Thanks,
Steve

Change to 305/30/19 super sports. I am changing mine. Negligible footprint difference but a tad more sidewall height. A lot less expensive too!

Looks like there is a used set of Michelin PS2s in 235/35/19 and 315/25/19 on ebay just now.

Just received a set of new Nitto Invos in those sizes today after giving up my 3 months search for new Michelin PS2 315/25/19s ...

You've been looking for 3 months on 315X25 PS2's?.......bummer.


I guess I'm in the same boat.......not hearing any credible ETA's so I'll also have to look at other options for my 11J rear fitments......as well as fronts.


I'll have 3 good tires for sale .

I had to go with the 305's since I got new wheel and no 315's available to order. Sounds like Tire Rack still has no knowledge of when these tires will be available.

I second the 305/30/19 pss. On 12" rims they are perfect and run as wide as the 315/25/19. Also have better grip that the ps2 and run quiter. Very happy with mine

245/35 on 8.5". They fit perfect (would also fit on 9s)

Balance is great. Much better than the ps2s (235s)

Also, no rubbing for me, and I'm lowered on pss9s but do have gt3 lca

Appreciate the info.....and the comment on 245s.
I may be a tad lower than you.....I'm 109 in front and 120 rear (in the GT3 range) .....have fender prep and am rubbing front wheel arch liner at full lock with the current 235/35 PS2s on 8.5 rims.


Anyway.......guess I could keep 235/35 with Pilot SS and go w/your suggestion of 305/30s.
A set of four SS.....is roughly the cost of just the rear two 315 PS2's.....incredible.

You are a tad lower than me. Interestingly i was rubbing lightly with 235s, but I'm not with the 245s - but did move camber to 2.3 in the front. Based on your hight I think the 245s would rub for you.

The pss are much quiter than the ps2 - even when new. I was very surprised with that. So far (3k miles) I'm really happy with them. They also have a lip that protects the rims that definitely makes me feel more comfortable too.

I'm afraid not. I have had this size on order with Michelin for quite some time, and they have not given us a concrete production schedule as to when (or IF) they will make them again.

We used to have the Toyo T1R in the size, but Toyo discontinued the tire.

Greg T - the difference is only 10mm. I hear they work great. I just got my rear pair but haven't mounted yet.
