Default What TIRES!!!!!!!!

So since no one is going to answer the Kumho vs. nitto 555 tire question can anyone tell me the next upgrade ,pricewise, to a better tire that wont rub on a 20x10 42 offset 285/35/20 setup. That is also going to be better than nitto or kumho for ride comfort? Is all tres going to be the same as far as comfort? Whats the point of going with a more expensive tire if your not racing?

Remember i told you to go with 275/30/20 in the back on the 10 in wide wheels. It will prevent from rubbing, thats what im running on my 10in wide rim. THe 275 will slightly slant in than 285's and won't rub, you might rub with 285's

The 285/35 seems too big, I'm not sure that anything in that size will work on the rear of a GS300 without rubbing. The 275/30 is the size I recommend for the rear.

285/35 will be way too tall of a tire! Drop the attitude and you will get more reponses.

285/30/20 may work since it seems that you want to go with 285, but not too sure. . . good luck. . .
