Any GS350s running 245/30/20 tires in BK/QZ?
Any of you guys with GS350s running 245/30/20 tires around Queens or Brooklyn? If yes, is it a pain in the a$s or smooth sailing? Are you constantly swerving around potholes or do you eat them up? I'm in the market for some 20" wheels, I just wanna cover every corner ^^
Thank you
Thank you

In general... if you're running tires with such a low profile - 30 series... you want to avoid as many potholes as possible... no matter where you live...
It also depends on the tire brand you're using... and the width of wheel those tires (245/30/20) are mounted on... and the tire pressure you keep them in... the list goes on and on...
Good Luck and have fun on the NYC Slalom...

my 19's have 30 series tires. they always look flat to me but they arent.
keep them well inflated. i usually have around 34-36psi in them.
no bends or bubbles here yet and i drive through DC.
you also need to consider how wide the rim is. if your tire is stretched you are more likely to mess up your rims.

Point taken
My initial choice was to run 245/35/20 all around and just deal with the rubbing here and there. I was just wondering if anybody does it around the boroughs with no sweat

well i was running 235/30/20 i had 3 months with them no problem until all of a sudden i got 2 blowouts within 1 week
idk if am on crack but im goin to run 225/35/20 on a 8.5 wheel i feel 245/35 is too chunky and it would cause problems since i love riding real low
hitting potholes in bk and queens is not fun at all soo good luck
