[s-cars] tires

[Wylie Bean]

I had sumitomos -3 setsofem, on the allroad.  For the money they were hard to beat. They were not HTR-Z IIIs tho.
I have F1s on my UrS, but they we're like new take-offs in 225-45-17 that I got for the Boleros for the mind-boggling price of $100/set of 4. 

Me likes those deals.

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.
