Has anyone run these on the street with some gear (4.10.. 4.30)? I was looking into these after my gears and converter.

Hmmm... I might have to look at these too when I buy tires here soon.

Do many on here run 255-50/16's?, because when I looked at them mounted, with weight on them they seemed to be too wide, like if the tire was under-inflated even a little bit, it would rub-hence 245's, with no problems. Anybody?
The stock wheel is too narrow for a 255 50 16. hence the "underinflated" look.
they WILL fit, one some cars they fit without rubbing, one some cars some 255's rub. usually that is the production variances between tire manufacturers.
my buddy runs em on his mark 8 with no problems, and I have read about others having rubbing problems with 255's.
I run the 245's when I have to replace tires..when these on my new car wear out they will be replaced with 245's.

I have the 245 50 16 ... wanted the 255's but got a better deal on the 245's... wish I would have went with the 255's.
They run good. I have run Falken for the last 3 years. I like them.. good price... descent wear... and good in the snow and rain.
