Post 'em if ya got 'em!
Also please add comments like grip, driveability, fit, clearance, etc.
OKAY. Since I started it:
1.
Fit: replaced Goodyear Eagle GTII 295/50x15 and 235/60x15
- Tread 10" wide on Billboard;
- Tread 11" wide on GTII
--> Result on my FFR:
more clearance at critical fender and 2x3 at frame.
- Sidewall bulge on BB greater but on theis FFR, not a clearance issue.
- BB slightly taller, maybe 3/4" to 1" but still no rubbing w/out adjusting ride height.
2.
Grip: it's there no question. My test is a hard shift to 2nd. The GTII's will slip and allow "burning rubber"; not so on the BB's...just a hard lurch forward.
3.
Diveability: went for 100 mile plus run today. Back roads. Not as easy as radials..that is certain. Have to steer more, there is vibration under some conditions. All in all acceptable, but radials easier to deal with. The BB's give one a "race car" feeling. Much less "darting around" than anticipated.
Here are a couple images:
Side View: note fender and tire about same height. Could probably lower 1/2" or so...no rubbing at this level.
Clearance View:
Any other experiences?
