Oe says , 245/35ZR20 95Y 275/30ZR20 97Y 8Jx20 ET48 9.5Jx20
Michelin pilot super sport or michelin 4s which took over from super sports , i use vredestien ultrac vorti , which work very well , grip wise I don’t think there will be much difference , Cost wise the vredestien should work out a lot cheaper , black
Circles , tyres on the drive , openeo , camskil , worth looking at for prices , reverse fit , and warn who ever fits about the tps sensors , easily broken

I've squeezed 275/35 20s on my VE wagon, they look MEATY hehe

If lowered though you may get a bit close to the arch, mine's on the H&R Coilovers now and I had to do a touch of clearancing at the back smile

Toyo aren't bad. Andy at A.J.S. tyres are pretty well priced.

275/35 20s for reference, Michelin PS4S.

Absolutely no issues at all at standard ride height, I've had to give the driver's side arch a bit of a clearancing now that I've lowered it ~25mm
