Anyone?

Well 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 is the stock size.

Personally I prefer the larger sizes as the stock size tyre always looks a little stretched to my eye and the larger size gives a little more rim protection.

Depends on whether you want to keep it to stock sizes or not. If you are not bothered about keeping it stock I would go with the upsize.

Cheers Chris,

Stock size doesn't worry me, the bigger size is also slightly cheaper,

Ps your car looks great is it lowered at all? And what's the general ride like

:-)

Thanks!

Not lowered at all just standard MSport suspension. The ride is 'firm' shall we say! Definitely not what you'd call luxurious but it handles nicely. On run-flats it was unbearable!

[Shane.]

Thanks Chris I'll get some ordered up today, my dad thought the m sport was a fairly firm
Ride as it is but to me it was ok, after coming from a impreza sti with coilovers 18" alloys etc i hope it won't be to bad

I have the larger sizes on my 19s, mostly because there seemed more choice and availability in those sizes and cost was no more or slightly cheaper in some cases, I ended up with Conti 5p all round.

U got a pic mate just to show how the tyre looks on alloy

[EssexIan]

I have but it will probably take me a week to post up like last time, have a search for recent '313 group buy' thread mine is the black touring!

The tyres look fine, little different to standard except maybe filling the wheel a little better and giving a touch more protection to the rim. You'd struggle to tell the difference without looking at the tyre size.
