They have only done 2,000 k's, but I'm thinking of increasing the height of my rear tyres when they come due to around a 315/45/17. I have checked the Tirerack Website in Indiana and it doesn't appear that B.F. Goodrich or any other tyre manufacturer make such a tyre. The only way to get that chunky look on the rear is to go back to 15" rims which I don't want to do. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.

The other day I put an 18" (rim) tyre up against my Cobras' 15" (rim) Yokahama tyre and they were both the same diameter....just sidewall difference.....If you've got them big rims...fill em up with big brakes ! That was the original reason for the big rims. |
