Went into the tyre shop thismorning to order the KU36's and ended up folding at the last minute in favour of those. (Toyo proxes 4)

Soft I know but the guy tells me they will have more grip that a KU25 or KU31 but will still go pretty well in teh wet which was my only real concern... (winter will be here before u know it :( )

I'll have a report for you tomorrow after i make the trip up to Whoop Ass Wednesday.
fingers crossed...

Are there many issues with running say
215/45/17 W87 's on the front and
235/45/17 W93 's on the back.

Unless you get your rolling diameters right your center diff will not be sending you a christmas card this year and either way your handling will be rooted.

Will understeer a lot more than it does already.

Always run the same front and back and similar wear levels unless it is just to limp home/tyre shop.

will the 235's fit with unrolled guards? how good are the front tyres scott? might be able to buy another 2 of the 235 tyres :p n flog off the 215's :p haha what brand are the 215's?

silo's_sube 16-03-2009 10:46 PM

one of the 215's in gone.
the other is a Bridgestone Potenza...about 50-60%tread(im not the best at telling)
im probably going to have to buy two more of the 235's IF i don't have to roll the guards....the backs are about 95% tread
