Thumbs up Mounted a 285 REO50ATire on a 19x9.5" Rim

So I mounted a 285 on a 9.5 which I have to say looks way better than a 275. I have a slight rubbing problem when I am hitting a corner hard, and I mean hard like pushing the front and rear wheels to slide. Other than that no bumps or other corners make them rub. I will snap a picture, but it will have to be with my camera phone unless i find my digital.

RE050A-100 Mile evaluation
So far Im impressed. I have my PS2's still mounted in front because the rears wear out twice as fast. These tires have very good grip. They are quiet and provide good to excellent driving comfort. Pushing them to their limits is predictable and forgiving. I pushed them out pretty good and it maintained grip but started to squel slightly letting me know i was at their limit and I was able to correct it without an issue. So, so far so good.

i Just posted this so once I go to get my meal from the deli I'll snap a pic or two of the car. Im thinking a side shot and a closup of where the bulge should have been but it sits somewhat flush.

I got 17k on my ps2's, but I could have gotten maybe 4-5k more if my camber was correct. The front after 17k miles look almost half worn..they are at 60% maybe slightly more.

Too early to tell, let me log some miles, however so far they are on par with them.

Default Pictures of 285's on a 9.5" Rim Sorry the pictures are very bad

Sorrry, I only had my camera phone with me today. These pictures are bad. I tried touching them up in the Generic Windows picturer viewer. I'll get better ones, damn camera phone pictures suck. Some newer cameras are better thank god.
