Stone a tire that is less than 2% diffence from a stock tire is a good rule of thumb. And like i said before the stock track z wheel and tire weight on my scale here at my buliding at 50lbs. and my wheel and tire weights in at 54lbs. But i guess since you are not here to see it i must not be telling the truth.
And Matix is runnin a 9.5 in the front.
and i never said it did not fit right i just asked if it look to prode on the car. - And running spacers on cars is bad news unless they are made out of a billet cycl. cut down to the right size so you know they are flat. and i dont know fi they fit your car right i cant see the picture - i am not looking down thw side of the car.

Why would you run a tire that is farther away from the stock size (275/30/19) when you can run a tire (245/35/19) that is closer? Not to mention the fact that you're jeopardizing ride comfort and wheel damage with a smaller sidewall.

The *recommended* wheel width for a 245/35/19 tire is 8.0-9.5

Arguing about your product is one hell of a way to sell it

Ride comfort with a smaller side wall? how do you figure?a 245/35/19 is 25.9 inches and a 275/30/19 is 25.6 inches tall, so if you can tell a .3 inch of a difference. So then also take that difference and spilt it in half. so a .15 top and .15 bottom. Do you really think that will make a big ride difference between the 245 and the 275?

Yes, I do.....I have superhuman senses.

You still didn't answer my question, which was......"Why would you run a tire that is farther away from the stock size (275/30/19) when you can run a tire (245/35/19) that is closer?"

Cause the 245(9.6 wide) is to small for a 9.5 inch wheel witch is actully 10.5 inches wide and a 275(10.8 wide) would be a better fit. and it is only 1.8% smaller than stock. And if you are worried about 1.8% then i fell sorry for you when your tires wear down.

Ok let me rephrase that. YES a 245 is the most correct height for the car, BUT i woudl not recomend it on a 9.5 inch wide wheel. If you are use like an 8.5 or 9 yes that i would recomend that tire, BUT for a 9.5 inch wheel i would recomend a 275/30/19 which i know will fit since i have test fitted a 275/35/18. But that is besides the point

You might not recommend it, but TOYO does, and since that's what *they* do for a living, who am I to argue?

Toyo themselves said a 245 will fit just fine on a 9.5" rim.

All h22wagon is doing is offering another alternative for wheels and tires. To each their own. Some cannot afford or want to pay the cost of certain brands. Thanks for the offer h22wagon. The ROH wheels will have an appeal for some.

well if you want to get more tech. on it they say that it will fit on a 8-9.5 inch wheel but they recomend to to be on a 8.5 inch wheel. and that is stright out of there 2002 product Data Book. so it beign a 9.5 inch wheel the tire is at it's limit.

But it's still safe, or else they wouldn't have it listed as being an acceptable wheel width, at all, if there was any chance of failure.

Their website shows the 8.5 as the wheel width in which they did their measuring, not the *ideal* wheel width for the given size tire. You must be looking at different data.

We're just splitting hairs now awyway.
