Can I bother fellow 'is' owners for some tire advice? My RFTs are dead in the back, and I am thinking about PSSs. Any input on brands or sizing for my 19" wheels? I've heard some people go bigger than OEM with rears... Any help is appreciated.

Yea, you can go with 265 on the rear. If you can afford, pss is best tire you can buy.

Same noise I have at stopper about 1,250 rpm. Below or above it doesn't make it while stopped....but I hear the same noise when decelerating and downshifting (low rpms). It's a loud rattle/buzz that sounds as if it is coming from the right side of the engine bay. The sound is much worse when I'm running a tune vs stock. Anyone figure it out yet?

I'm getting closer...after several map changes and uninstalls, I've determined the noise happens with or without a tune installed. It's really noticable as the car downshifts in the low rpms. I can replicate the noise in park idling about 1250 rpm. I can hear it in the cabin, but not outside of the car with the hood up. Was thinking water pump at first but now leaning more towards some kind of harmonic rattle. Found a thread about someone relacing a fuel line and a similar noise went away. Any thoughts?
