That's a big tire! How does it handle with all that sidewall bulge, does it tend to wander or anything?

That's a lot of tire for those wheels. I would like to know how it handles when cornering.

I don't really see a bulge, more of a regular look with any tire. It is on 35PSI, so maybe 40PSI might help?

I just finished a 60mile drive on the expressway and it rode great. The only small issuethat happened was when I was crusing at 75 mph, I hit a big bump and I heard my tires rub in the rear. Not a huge scraping rub, but a light one. This is with my wife in front with me and my two sons (8 and 3 years) sitting in the back with bags in the trunk. I checked the tires and I did not see any marks. It was the plastic inner trim of the fender wheel well that rubbed. This is still on the stock suspension of 200K.

Has anyone taken the plastic lip guard inside the wheel fender trim out? I see it is attached by small screws?

This will definately help.
