Ah I see. Good reasoning indeed. I felt like the Nitto NT420S tires did great this past winter for me.

You didn't have a problem in the Colorado snow? I've heard from numerous sources that the 420s don't do well in winter weather. I'm thinking about them for my next tire but am a bit apprehensive due to what I've heard.

Wow and check out the price difference between GY 305/40/22 ($724) and GY 285/45/22 ($1,048)...who woulda thunk it?

Really? I guess the AWD really helped out in the Esky then bc I had zero problems with em.

:waytogo: thanks for the info, Felix. If they can handle a Co winter then I should have nothing to worry about in Mo. I'm looking to get them in a few months I hope. Do you think the 305's will rub on a 2/4 drop (installed in a few weeks)

Nope but Felix has 305/50/20's on his Av so I asked him the question. Sorry, I'll keep my inquiries to PM Mr Supercharged :chicken:

You want to buy my setup on layaway? :)
