Here is what I have, front 245/35/19 Pilot Sports P2 in great condition. Rear 275/30/19 pilot sport p2. My rear tires are ready for a change 2/32 . Could I put 275/35/19 pilot sports on the rear, or will it screw something up (VDC)? Can I go Wider? Like 285, 295, or 305?
Thanks
Thanks
Tire Question....?
You have questions but you didn't give us a lot of information....what size
rim and offset? These figures are critical in choosing tire size, without it
you'll never get a correct answer to your question!

19" volk te37's, don't know the offset though, they were on the car when I bought them, my main question is will 35 series be ok if the front are, right now the fronts are 35 series and the rears are 30 series
Since they are both Michelins you may be ok, since the tire sizes should be uniform across the same brand.
In my case, I had 245/40-18 Pilot Sport All/Season on the front, and when I swapped out my rear 275/40-18 Pilot Sport All/SEason for the same size Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS, my VDC kept complaining whenever I took even mild curves. It kept braking the front corner, causing the rear to step out.
I had to replace the front with RE960AS to fix the problem. In my case, I think the problem was caused by the Potenzas being slightly bigger than the Pilots for the same given size. (Especially given the fronts are already 2% off from stock)
