Michelin 305 30 19 on my stock 19" wheel

andrei.m4 · 05-20-2019, 04:30 AM

I know recommended is around 11j for 305 but as I see my tyres works great on stock wheels. Tyres are Michelin Cup2 305/30R19, no DSC problems.

That's a lot of tire crammed on a small wheel

Effective contact patch for a 305mm width tire on a 10" wide wheel is around 295mm.

Expect handling to feel a bit squishy in the rear.

I saw tyre have exact same position unmounted, it looks like it was manufactured with this cramm. I saw this model on bmw m6 it was in same position.

If I am not mistaken, the M6 has 10.5” wide rear wheels.

Great...now all I can hear in my head is Chris Farley doing his "fat guy in a little jacket" routine.

I was told to go 295 and no higher, so I went 295 Sport Cup 2's and the ride is perfect. Also I'm lowered on KW HAS and had no issues rubbing. if you went lower I would expect a rub.
