Default Tire choice - down to 4 - which set to choose? Will 245's rub?
Running 19" Champion Rims

Yokohama Advan Sports
Goodyear Eagle F1
Falken FK452
Toyo T1R

Looking for quiet, dry handling - not fussy about wet performance. Street and track capable.

Right now have 235/35/19's - can I do 245/35/19's without rubbing?

Default Falken FK452 - performance, ride quality, and price.
On my second set, and I would not consider anything else.

Great wet/dry traction, very quiet and at a great price.

Toyos get loud as do the F1's.

play it safe and run 235's. 245's have mostly been known to rub.

2nd. And 245's add unnecessary unsprung weight. With AWD, wider track is unnecessary.

From that list, I'd go with the Eagle F1's. Skip the Toyos.
