and i thought i had rubber bands for tires... 295/25? that's gonna look sick on the rims. Even though the ride is gonna be a bit rougher and a thick pebble on the road may bend a rim, it's gonna look sweet!

btw what price did you get on tires if i may ask? rear only

$381 per rear tire and another $45 each for the tirerack road hazard program. You have to get the road hazard program with tires this size. If anything happens to the tires, a blowout for any reason, they replace the tire. This includes potholes and everything. I've had to use this road hazard program before on my wife's X5 and let me tell you, it sucks laying out the extra money up front but if you ever have to use it, it's just so nice to have. It's sort of like insurance. You have to pay for it and it sucks but if you need to file a claim, it suddenly becomes well worth the money.

I agree... I have a similar policy with BMW on my wheels. For 6 dollars a month they cover my wheels and tires REGARDLESS if it's aftermarket or not. It clearly says it in my contract that they will cover aftermarket wheels but will only reimburse the retail amount of 1 bmw oem wheel. Which in my case is around $700 a wheel. I can live with that. I also have my car insurance with state farm and they are also covered under this policy. so i guess im pretty covered

again, nice job on those tires. maybe when mines go bad I'll go that route, but i was just afraid of the "rubber band" affect from being so thin. you have to let me know how it rides after the fact.

I'm running the same tires on my car in 19"...they ride great and they look even better...for what it's worth my neighbor has the PS2's on his car also in 19" and is always commenting how much better the PS A/S tires look on the wheels
