I'm running a 305/35/18 M/T street and love this tire. Numbers are in my sig, have zero traction issues at all. Suggest looking at the tire specs to see just how much wider the toyo is compared to the M/T.


Is there anyway you can measure the width of your tire for me
On there website it says
305/35/18
26x12.50r18
Than it also says sect. Width in. 12.2
So I’m not sure what the true size is

Toyo says 315/35/18 is 12.5” but I think it’s bigger gonna measure when I get home

Measured mine last night and they look like no wider than 12.2 to me.

So I went with a 305/35 nitto 555r and rolled the fender again and pushed it up nice and tight. I did notice when I had the rear jacked up and both tires where off and suspension was unloaded that my springs had a lot of play in them I was able to move them up and down freely is this normal on coil overs? I’ve never had them on any car before. So I made sure the springs where seated securely before putting the tires on and dropping the car down. I took it for a quick 20 min ride and wow night and day difference in the ride. The car handled all the bumps so much better and so far no rubbing. So I’m thinking that I have been driving around with the springs not properly seated and that is where my issue came from. I had bought some Rovos awhile back figured it was time to put them on and switch it up.

I’m running a 315/35/18 on a 10.5
And as you can see it’s just not working out for me. I really just want to put a tire on that will not rub , so I can enjoy the car again. Sounds like the 305 is where I want to be.
I know the mt’s will hook great but how are they for highway driving not concerned about rain just performance wise
315x30x18 Toyo R888R, I have low profile ITS bolts, fenders not rolled and I get minimal very minimal rub. Going to roll fenders soon
