My last car, a 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 had a staggered setup with Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on it. Even with light driving 9k miles would eat them up. Changed to the all season version that is higher mileage rated and got a whopping 12k miles out of the rear tires. This got expensive due to not being able to rotate front to rear.

I will be retiring in two years so I am conscious of operating costs on my car.

Just wanted something that looks nicer and these are lighter than the stock wheels.

I didnt see that you had a 230 when posting from my phone. All I was suggesting tho was that 245 wouldve fit on those wheels. Probably not a big deal tho.
