I hear really good things about the Bridgestone RE-01R's. Looks like the only sizes they make that will fit the rims on my stock 05 6MT coupe are the 245/35R19.
Has anyone tried using this size on all 4 rims for the stock 19's?

Will this mess with the VDC?
Will my car be slightly higher in the front?
Will I rub in the front?
Will steering feel heavier with larger front tires?

No, No, No and No. Get the tires and dont look back. They are 100% the stickiest tires i've ever driven on. I have 225/45/18 RE01-R's stretched on 18x9's and i can still take canyons at the same speed, if not faster than i did with my 245/275 setup. If i had the 265/35's on there, they'd never let go of the road.

the rear will sit significantly lower and your wheel gap in the rear will also increase though

Really? Does anyone happen to have pics of the same sized tires all around on our staggered 19's?
