I have also have Falken FK453s - but 285/35/19 which is about as wide as you can reasonably go on standard rims - the fitters complained they were a total b*tch to fit, though!
Agreed. I had some Michelin Pilot A/S Plus tires on the back and I could hear the cursing in the waiting room. Those tires are shot and I just replaced them with some 265/35/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I wanted to get 285s again, but couldn't justify the extra cost.
