Okay, I know. I've searched. And I've read. And I can't find this answer.
So, looking to replace the Nitto 555 G2 rear tire on the SS - on a Twist Dynamics 22" rim. Beyond the traction issues, I've always felt the tire was never wide enough. It's a 295/30R22 on an 11" wide rim. Which makes the tire profile look like this: /~~~\ - that is - the wheel is wider than the tire and it doesn't protect the rim. I'ld prefer something like this: |~~~| or this: \~~~~/
So I was looking for 315 or 335 width tires in that same 22" diameter. And of course Nitto doesn't make a wider tire for the 22" rim. You really come down to about 4 real choices:
- Michelin Pilots - at $650+/tire
- Pirelli P-Zeros - at $550+/tire
- Toyo Proxes STIII - at ~$200/tire
- Lexani 30's - ~$300/tire
- Then a couple no-names in the $200-300 range (Atturo, Lion-Heart, etc)
Here's the question: The Toyo are actually a Sport Truck/SUV-performance tire, even though they are in that very low profile range. I'm not worried about load (SS is very light) or speed ratings (I'll never get to 150+ MPH even with the turbo). Would there be any problem running the STIII on the SS?
What other things should I worry about? Edu-mi-cate me.
