I'm one of the cool kids now - i just got my 18s and laying down some serious rubber

I would love to see you cram in some 265/40/18 tires next time

 

btw, it's not an Outback anymore, it's just an OUTRAGE or "I got my 265s OUT BACK"

What he said.......that's serious rubber....

I'm all for extreme serious rubber but I'm not even sure I'm using all the 245/45's performance right now, and 265/40's may be a bit overkill except for an even meaner stance. As it is everything fits in terms of clearance, I'm wagering a need to roll the fenders for the 265's.

 

I like this view.....

Aright, that's pretty hot...how do the Gforce tires handle w/ spirited driving? Cornering? Do they come in 255? Cause I want em...

seems like all the mags are writing about the Solstice this month, was looking at the tire specs and interestingly the Solstice is also running 245/45-18s. Why such a big and therefore heavy tire for what is suppose to be a sports car?

Damn that ass end is dead sexy with those fat tires.

Holy thread revival, bro!

[drewster]

Yeh, that's definately a sexy ass shot!

 

How well to the tires grip when cornering in the rain after all this time?

i've been living in seattle, in never rains here so i don't know. Honestly i've never pushed it to its cornering limits when wet so i don't know how much it takes to break them loose.

 

One thing though is these tires get a rep for being noisey but I would say in the past year i've never thought to myself, wow these tires are noisey, they seem pretty quiet to me.
