Have been stung but have concerns...

[Never thought]

Two questions - 1) so the GT2 has the option of 18 or 19 inch? I thought it was 19’s. I prefer RWD but will take AWD.
2) I seen post about tire issues with the 19’s - any thoughts?

I think people complained about the tires that come with the 18s not the 19s. The 19s are pretty awesome tires. Michelin pilot sport 4s if I remember correctly

Yes, GT2 can come with 19s and summer tires or 18s with all seasons and 135 speed limiter.

Good to know

I have 5000 miles on my red gt 2 and my wife has 2500 on her yellow one
No paint issues except for a faint badge line where I removed the back Kia badge. Seats are like new so far and I am not small.

Wow two stingers in driveway!
Great to hear you have had no problems. I will want to put the script Stinger badge on rear too.
Thanks for info.

You got 2 stingers, that’s nuts. Who drives theirs harder?

I'm in WA state and we have terrible roads here on I-5. Road debris galore. So yeah I'm already having issues with paint chips. I'll need to get it wrapped soon.

Every car I've had in WA (4 so far in 7 years) has had a cracked windshield that I've had to replace.

Funny you should mention windshield issues on I5, recently visited my son who is in Military at Tocoma. His windshield had huge crack all the way across it.
I may need to just budget in some form of paint protection after initial purchase.

I would advise your son to have insurance that has no deductible for glass replacement.

I do, although my wife is a changed women behind the wheel.

It looks great but was worried I would put it on crooked. It is perfectly straight.... when I take the off ramp at 63 mph...
