Default Anybody try 285/35/19's on the rear?

Hi guys...

I just wanted to know if any of you have tried 285/35/19 Michelin Pilot Sports on the rear of your CSL's?? Are they any better or worse than the 265/35/19's....?

Please let me know

Thx!!

285/35/19 will have around 40mm bigger diameter than 265/30/19 and 20mm bigger than 255/35/19 so it may well rub much easier.

If you want to run 285 tyres look out for 30 profile if I were you
