So I put the BBS's back on Alumibitch last weekend, only to be reminded of how badly in need of new treads I am. Hmmmm.
Questions for the experts (oh Taka...):
Any thoughts on the new Sumitomo HTR-Z III's? Tough to beat @ $164 per. Considering those vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric @ $213 per. In this size, those are the only 2 choices that fall within a reasonable budget, all others are $260++ (would prefer the Bridgestone 050A's but). Are the Goodyear's going to be $200 better? Doubting it but figured would ask.
Bueller?
and
more importantly... will a 265/40 fit on an 8.5" wheel? Tire Rack says it "falls outside of the mfg. recommendation, need 9's", but they also say a 255/40 needs an 8.5 - which we know to be false as I ran many good miles with my 255 CUMho's on my 17x8 Avus. I'm trying to run as humongo a footprint I can on Alumibitch as I can, not to mention boyohBOY would "that" beef the F out of the look of the thing. I'm giddy @ the mere thought I am!
Any feedback here on both items greatly appreciatto.
Danka.
