TIRE - Your stock tires are 255/50/19 and 285/45/19, correct? If so you have a 29.09" overall rolling diameter. The proper tire size would be 265~285, 25series, R24. Unfortunately there doesnt seem to be 25series tires for 24" and only 30series. And with 285/30series you will get an overall rolling diameter of 30.73" or almost 6% difference, which is enough to mess with your ABS not to mention your speedo and strain to your tranny. The ABS can tolerate upto 4% difference.
I have 17s currently not 19s, my mistake. My current tire size in 235/65/17 and those are Blizzaks. I found some 22s I like and I will most likely get them after this post. It seems as if too many things can get messed up if I go with 24s which is what I figured.
