245/35/19 front
275/30/19 rears

Both have treadwear of 180

Advans are 2 pounds lighter a tire for the fronts, 1 pound lighter on the rear.
Some other minor section width differences. Nothing too major tho...

That said, the Advan's are INSANELY sticky... ran them at an AX this weekend and I'd highly recommend them. Made my car push more than it used to from more grip, but I'm working on that now....

If Kumho had the XS in these sizes... I might have gotten those as they're great, and cheaper.
Darn...I was hoping that Kuhmo would have those exact sizes too ! Double darn !

Oh...I rode in a Miata early in the morning out at El Toro and YES....the entry speeds and late braking for those cars is killer. So low to the ground and nimble. My co-worker has a few of them and I always mention them as his Bitch rides,lol...just to rib him.
He knows I know he'd beat me around the A-X.
