No, Bridgestone doesn't offer a tire in 315/25

They offer a 305 and can be matched with a 225 or a 245. The sidewalls are a little taller but that is actually a good thing when it comes to not having rubber bands any more.

Bridge S04 Pole Positions Rear: 305/30ZR19 $280 ea at Costco
Bridge S04 Pole Positions Front: 235/35ZR19 $174 ea at TireRack

I tried the 255/35Zr19's on the front ($210 at Costco) but they DO NOT FIT.

Love these tires. Would certainly buy them again. Even wear, great grip, no squealing or flat spotting. Had them for a day at Mid-Ohio - no problemo.

Are you RWD? I was looking at the 235 but the ratio was too far off for my liking

No AWD. No issues so far. I hear you about the ratios. I was concerned, but everything seems fine after one season of driving.

StealthRide is infamous around these parts
Sounds as though in the US 315/25 can be hard tire size to get hold of, in the UK we don't seem to have this issue as recently bought a pair of 315/25 with multiple options available

Based on my own experience, the Toyo Proxes T-1R tires seem to be a pretty good value.


My car came with a fresh set of these in 235/35ZR19 and 315/25ZR19, they only have 1000 miles on them so I can't really judge how well they are wearing yet. They seem to ride and handle nice, and there is really no significant road noise. I have not pushed them to the limit yet, but have gone on a few spirited rides on some twisty roads, and they seem to grip well. I have not noticed any rubbing, but I did notice the front fender lips had been bent upward a little so there may have been some rubbing previously.

I have gone thru several sets and love them. Great traction no noise and stick just fine with spirited mountain driving here in CO. They wear evenly (if your alignment is done right). I have no clue why they would ditch making these for the US.

wow, you are lucky. I went thru 1 set of fronts and two sets of rears and had a horrible experience. Car was aligned on a hunter.
