PSS preferred for cornering, NT05R if you are into straight line and can give up handling.

I've done my research and I'm pretty set on 345 Michelin PSS. Seem best for the price.

I found out today rims4less is a company to stay away from. You know what they say; "if its too good to be true, watch out!" Best prices are Discount Tire and TireRack. Now I just need to get my order in because the tires are on backorder and I need them before the drive to Bowling Green for the 60th Anniversary celebration.

Will the PSS in 285X18 and 345X19 fit on stock 09Z wheels?

285/345 should fit just fine. Rear might rub a touch if you're low.

I have used Michelin PS in the past and these are great tires. Much better than the stock run flats. I now have the Michelin Cup tires in 295/30-18 on front and 345/30-19 on the rear. All on stock wheel offsets. Forge Line wheels. After about 5-6 heat cycles these tires are the best one's I've ever had. True Performance tires in every way. People here have said that they don't do too well in wet weather but that has not been my experience. They do come with a AA wet weather traction rating. The only issue I have is with the 80 tread wear rating. Not the kind of tire you could drive cross country. That's why I have another set of Pilot sports here for long trips. Just swap them out till I get back. Good luck with your tire selection.

This is the set up to have for straight line. ..
