Every car I have I push wheel tire widths why should the stinger be any different. Since my michelins wore out in ~10k miles I needed to get new tires and figured I would try wider than stock sizes on stock wheels. I have a 2019 AWD GTS with 19" x 8" front, 8.5" rear.

I decided to go with a 275/30 rear and a 235/35 front Achilles ATR sport tire. These sizes are about a .5" smaller than stock. Fronts are ~.4" wider and the rear is ~.8" wider. I have not bolted them on the car yet (hence no driving impressions), but I will share some pics of the tires mounted on the wheel since they are a bit wider. When the weather breaks here, I'll share better pics and driving impressions.

Note on Achilles: I ran these tires on my Genesis coupe for years and for a cheap summer tire they perform pretty admirably. Also I run true winter tires when its cold here so winter performance does not matter.
