Red Tornado Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hope it's better than the AI one. Will try if contigency is good. Any specs of height and tread width etc.. on those sizes?? I run a 285/645/18 and a 305 on occasion so was curious if those Toyo's are 25.6-.7 tall and about 10-11 inches tread width Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex. 240/640R18 ----- 240/25.4 = 9.65 640/25.4 = 25.2 R18" In your case 285/650R18 ------ 285/25.4 = 11.22 650/25.4 = 25.59 R18" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Tornado Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 How will price compare vs hoosiers?? Will be interesting to see especially now that hoosier changed there contigency levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrgordonsenior Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Will be interesting to see especially now that hoosier changed there contigency levels. IIRC it was only 3 cars in class to qualify, but only 1 tire to the winner. Correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
