I believe that this setup is fine to use from what I was reading in the "How about a sticky for MY04+ tire sizes" thread, however I wanted to double check and make sure. Are there any drawbacks to this tire size combo? Thanks in advance.

Cool thanks, I was hoping to keep my stock MY05 AP2 wheels but go up in tire size to the same size and tires I had on my volk ce28n's. I miss the RE050 pole positions
