You may want to consider the crank hub issue prior to tuning.

There is definitely a vocal minority in these forums in regards to that issue. Nobody I know personally has addressed the crank hub and all of them have tunes. I think I am going to take my chances for now.. so long as I don't mechanically over-rev the motor, the warranty should cover.

Super nice looking car and you aren't wasting any time getting mods onto it!

Why did you do a reverse stagger with the tire heights?

the aspect ratio is exactly that, a ratio/percentage of the width. so the 305/30/19 actually has a bigger rolling diameter than the 275/35/19. A 305/35/19 would be too tall.

275/35/19 = 26.58" OD (slightly rubs plastic trim on left hand turns)
305/30/19 = 26.20" OD

The better front tire size option is 265/35/19, which has a 26.30" OD.

305/35/19 fits just fine also, but would not recommend it as a daily tire.

Thank you for clarification!

Anytime! You can activate MDM (press traction control button once) if you start to experience frequent DSC intervention with your current tire setup.
