They are smoother & quieter than my previous Nitto 555g2 or Goodyear F1 Eagles (245/45,275/40/18) on base wheels.
I've made a total of 9 passes in 1/4 mile over past 2.5 years (not much) but I am able to achieve 1.90's on my 60'.
Anticipating my 24,25mpg going away....as this was consistent every tank...but I love them so far; no complaints...may even encourage a gear swap to compensate/ no need for 200+ mph 3.357 diff.
The ride is amazing & handling,drive ability is much improved.
Was a bit leary of a 285/35 on a 10" wheel up-front...but really shocked me how well they feel.
Over next several weeks I'll post fuel mileage difference;as these larger diameter drive wheels have the speedometer dead on...so my 24,25'ish was being slightly fudged.
Have a great day...it's Friday!!!
My fuel mileage is anywhere from 6 mpg to 26 mpg. Depending on what I'm doing at the time. :driving:

Progress.

Left: 245's which is what my car started life with on the rears
Middle: 275's I upgraded to before the nipples were off the OEM tires. 245's up front at this point
Right: 345 the new rear beef. The 275's are going up front now

The perspective makes it look like they are MUCH wider than they are. Though they really are frickin massive!

That's a lot of meat, chase :tup:

Apparently these things are way out of measurement until mounted. I was warmed about measuring them beforehand (which I already did of course lol) and would just scratch my head and wonder how they were going to work if I did.

So, somewhat heeding that advice albeit after the fact, I'll be patient and relatively confident about their fitment until the wheels arrive and can actually air them up.

I can see how they would be different in their most aired down un-mounted state; the rubber is so soft you can pretty much manipulate the entire tire by hand. Gosh, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if one could mount them without a tire machine :p

use some good "Murphy's" tires soap or equivalent & you can...may have to put the backside of wheel hub on top of something,to keep tire from working against you.

Sounds like it is only available in 25lb containers, which probably costs as much as mounting them. Since I'd be surprised if I'd ever use it again it's not worth it.

Wonder if there is a substitute. Or maybe I should just leave it well enough alone since I need to take the TPMS out of the old ones anyhow.

Flat tire is on with oversized tires?
 
Guys, i would like to know how much is too much for my tire pressure and what is the recommended inflation pressure for 19x9.5 with 255/35/r19 and 19x10.5 295/30/r19? Please help.

Thank you,
Aljay

Go with the spare pressure recommended
read the sidewall of the spare. Its usually 45 to 60 psi.

Start with about 35 psi. See how it rides and handles. Don't go with the spare tire psi. The spare tire if a space saver is constructed differently then the regulate tire.

I gave my response based on the title

Flat tire is on with oversized tires?

That the question?
If no, them follow Rusty recomendation

Just when I thought I was doing good upgrading from my stock 18's and rubber to stock Nismo wheels and Conti 245's/285's, I gotta look through a thread like this. So now I "must" move the rear tires up front and get some 325's for the rear. :stirthepot:

Best part is you only have two wheels to buy instead of a full set :tup:
