    Tire Size Advice 997 C2S

    Anyone have experience with 245/35/19 fronts instead of the stock 235/35/19? If yes, what did you think of them and what brand were they? Did they rub at all?

    I'm thinking of going with that size on the front to help reduce understeer. Any thoughts? I have the stock 5mm spacers front and rear on my 2007 C2S.

    I'm also considering upsizing the rears to 305/30/19, same as C4S, instead of the stock 295/30/19. Any thoughts on that? Same reason as above - hoping for more grip, but front is more important than rear to me - I hate understeer.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Re: Tire Size Advice 997 C2S

    I have put GT3 rims on my car , with the 305/30/19.  The car worked fine, but as I have not been on the track with my standart rims, it is hard to compare, specially that I had cups, and normally I have Pilot Sport.

    But I would think you will not have a big difference by changing the back.

    I would not put 245  at the front. Could make the car less agile, but  I have no real expereince with it
