New Type R (FL5) Owner!

It varies all over the places. Most says they don't last very long, but some says they're able to eck out over 25k. If you're at 20k and still have plenty of tread life left, I would suspect it must have been replaced at one point? My car is approaching 8k and the front still have about 6/32 of tread depth remaining.

I've got 45k on mine. I kept the old tires because they were on my type r forged rims when I traded in my 24 for my 26.

I would try your local dealer to see what they’ll sell for. Even at $300+ per tire, the PS4S is a great street tire. I don’t see any reason to change sizes or tires unless you’re looking for better track performance.

45k, holy crap, how'd they get that far? What's your tread depth?

My reaction exactly! I don't see mine last more than 20k.

My neighbor has a depth gauge I think. I still have a couple oil changes left too, I could ask Honda. I'm about to be switching over to my winter set of tires on stock rims soon too. I'll get the depth reading for you guys.

I just don't go zooming around corners like you guys I guess. I've gone very fast in both though so. I'll post pictures of tread for you guys as well. Out with the wife at a soccer game right now in her car.

If you ever go that route, please do post pictures and feedback. Since the stock OE tires are pretty much at normal prices now and are no longer "super cheap", my excuses to stick with it has gone away. I may try 275/30 on my next set.

Here is a PIC of my DWS 06+ in 275/30R19…Very happy with them being an all-season tire.

Well technically I thought about it while driving. I switch over in winter so, I did the math roughly for the actual mileage on them considering winter.

Winter considered, 30k miles and some change so far. Hell my rear brake pads lasted like 30k miles and every one here says 10k miles max.

That's still way above the advertised range

Again too though, I seriously don't drive slow by any means. I'm doing something right.

The stock specs are interesting, such low profile.

• Wheel Size: 19 x 9.5 inches
• Wheel Offset: +60 mm
• Bolt Pattern (PCD): 5x120 mm (center bore: 64.1 mm)
• Tire Size: 265/30ZR19 93Y (Michelin Pilot Sport 4S)

I like the beefier look, most likely will go with the DWS 06+ 275/35ZR19.
I don't really plan on lowering the car, but who knows lol.

Research before you lower.

Lowering changes the geometry Honda dialed in.

Similarly with wheel offset and changing the scrub radius.

Might look better, but might not perform as intended.

Im pretty convinced on the dws 06+ 275/35 as my next set of tires. Thanks for the much useful info!

One more advantage, if the tire does not last 50k miles, you get prorated miles on the new set.

The last set of Michelin PS A/S 4 lasted only 14k miles. I got the new set for 1/3 of the price. similarly with the previous set of Michelins.

I'd assume Continental will honor their mileage warranty similar to Michelin.

I was unaware they did this, do you have to submit anything online?

That 30 doesn't give enough beef but this looks delicious too. Does anyone have a 275/35 pic handy?

I buy tires at America's/Discount Tire.

I did not have to fill in or submit anything to Michelin, though I believe that America's Tire did. they inspected for even wear, compute the mileage and discounted the new set.

No hassle, no arguments, and they did that for multiple sets on multiple vehicles.

Pretty much the title. Was thinking about fitting 275/35 R19 tires on the car. Stock suspension. Wanted to know if anyone has done this? Any rubbing? Should I stick to 265/35? Thanks!

Good morning FL5 family!

I posted this on Facebook, but didn't get any great feedback. I want to lower my car, but drive approximately 80 miles per day and don't want to ruin the ride or run in to rubbing issues. My car is currently on TALL tires and I love the fat sidewalls and comfort I get from the Cadillac specific TPC spec Michelin 4S with noise cancelling.

Wheel specs are 19x9.5 +45

Looks like a lot of people are commenting "Spoon" springs, but I have spoken to a handful of Spoon owners and they complain about the saggy look in the rear. I understand it is actually level from the jack-points, but I guess I care more about ride "quality" over just aesthetics. I think I can live with the "sag" if the ride is truly the best.

Sounds like a bunch of guys lowered on the H&R springs love the ride, but some wish it was lower, so I'm truly torn.

My tech said go Eibach or Spoon, but it sounds like those are the two brand he has the most on hand experience with.

Any feedback from those who have tried multiple spring setups is greatly appreciated. Planning on ordering my springs by Wednesday of next week.

Thank you in advance for any advice,

Mike
