Now this is a "meaty tire" not like those jokes in the actual meaty tire thread...

Exactly the same size I used for TSD, a little bit of rub during full compression though, so just take it easy on bumps, etc.

How much will the TRD rally suspension be? Seems like the Flatout R5700s would fit the bill and have better local support. If I didn't already have my ohlins, I'd be all over these!

Did you get much sidewall flex at that size on street?

Wondering what the compromises are. Perhaps the 225 50 17 is better all arounder?

Is that on stock suspension? Looks great! Can you take a more true side shot to show gap? Looks like there is barely any left 👍

Any rubbing issues?

They handled like sh*t on the road, specially in the tight/twisty roads on the way to the TSD event at anywhere above 45mph. There was just too much sidewall flex with the tires I had on, which gave the car a wallowy/bouncy feeling around corners (didn't help that I had stiffer springs also).

Once we were on the gravel, I was going slow enough avoiding ruts and slowing down for bumps/dips that I didn't notice and had a great time.

i agree with the 225 50 17 sidewall flexing too much during corners. What about Run Flat Tires? I wonder if that would would since the sidewalls are able to hold the entire cars weight while even deflated...

I was referring to the 215 65 16 sizes and thought your size was a better compromise. Are you saying yours flexes too much too?

$870? for Shocks and Springs. Not sure what shipping is. Softer Spring Rates, different damper settings, and raises the car another 10mm

So it's essentially replacing stock units with retuned ones and a lift? But no front top camber adjustment etc?

Even so seems like a very reasonable price for factory peace of mind.

Curious about your review when you get it

Do you happen to have a link? I've looked into it in the past, back when it was just released, but the one US source I found wasn't really responsive.
