bump for any updates.

I just ordered a set. I've been waiting for my car to be finished so now its time, well 2 more weeks. There were 3 very good reviews on these tire on the Tire Rack web page when you select this tire. Can't wait! Grass Roots Magazine also did a nice test and write up in this months issue. Also, it depends on what you will be doing with the tires.

Are you sure you selected the right size? Those numbers just don't look right. I'm no tire expert but your front should be a 45 not 40 and the rear should be a 40 not 35. With these short sidewalls, they may be a 6 ply to carry the pressure and weight, thus the load range. I think you should call the Tire Rack and verify the size, those guys are great. Good luck.

those number do sound right, he is on 18's.
