Or, you know, he could have a second set of wheels for track duty.......
why waste <200 treadwear tires on traffic, when it could be saved for the track use. I run all seasons on a second set of wheels because I DD in the northwest rain and occasional flurry (with bouts of sun in the summer). Every other post on the wheels forum is someone saying get a second set of wheels for the winter months and only drive on winter tires when it’s below 50. If you don’t expect a bunch of snow, then all seasons are perfectly reasonable and will last you way more than the 8-10k miles(if that) than the stockers would. Sounds like a decent deal OP. I chose to buy a second set of wheels in a square set up so normal tire rotations could be done on a longer terms set of tires. but if you’re set on staying on the stock wheels, it’s sounds like a great deal, provided the clearance isn’t an issue. |

Thanks for posting this. I've been waiting for someone to finally start making a 305/30/20 all season. I plan on using the stock wheels and tires for seven or eight months and all seasons for the other four or five months. Don't plan on any snow so the all seasons will work better and last longer. I want to keep the 285-305 look and size compatibility. I didn't spend an extra $7k on a 1LE for it to sit in a garage for nearly half the year.

That said, it's always a good idea to get a 2nd set of tires and rims and running an AS for a few winter months isn't a bad idea, but forgoing the summer tires during the other months makes you miss out on some significant performance.

I was looking at the same tires in that front size OP, I came here to search and up pops this thread. According to this, the difference is minimal and I can't imagine there would be a problem. https://tiresize.com/comparison/

You didn't get the memo? Other people are suppose to dictate how our money is spent.

One of our forum pals showed us he had on the stock 1LE wheels a 275/35/20 and 285/35/20 with the Comp2 A/S so that's what I'll be using. I ran that tire on my Mustang in the colder months and know its a great tire for the season.

Might be trying those Bridgestones myself. Would anyone in the midwest be interested in my stock Goodyears with 1600 miles on them for cheap if I make the swap?

Let us know!
I've only had this car 3 weeks but I hope the first person to get these Bridgestones will let us know. I just spoke with a Firestone store and he indicated that they would mount them and then look at clearances. With the 285s, I can barely get my middle finger between the tire and the strut assembly but I only need less that 1/5 inch (5mm) so I feel pretty good about this.

The Tire Rack has the RE980AS on backorder and no one has them available (305/30-20). I ran across these in my travels, exact size, the reviews are great, all-season and 186mph rated. The price is unbelievable and if they get me through until the snow flies I'm OK with it. Ordered a front and rear set from Amazon, I'll report back when I mount them up.
