I should also note, my back end slides around in wet weather with the DSC off and not much throttle. If Pole thinks the Michellins are sticky, i would go for it. I just went with Toyos because they were the cheapest by far for the setup I have.

As far as the +19 setup, i think it wont fit under the well. The style 124 wheels have a +20 offset and they're almost flat faced.

Hey Ryan. When I had my wheels I was running 295/25/20 with no rubbing. My wheels where Enkreuz H8R's which were 20x10 ET 19 in the rear. The wheels were wrapped in Continental Sport Contact 3 rubber. How come you're going with an A/S tire? I had no problems with the CS3's in the little rain we had

25 almost rubber bandish but it rode a hell of a lot better than the RFT's :thumbsdown:

Hmm... your rear offsets are the same as mine. Thanks for the input. I went ahead and ordered the 295/25/20 Pilot Sport A/S. They're on sell right now at Tire Rack. Will give a picture review when I get them put on.

I think you'll like the PS A/S tires. I've had mine for just over a year, and they are great in all conditions. Of course, mine are standard staggered 18" 124 sizes, so I'm looking forward to the pix of your big dogs.
