You'll be fine, I have a 235/35 on a 10.5 right now. Just make sure you keep the PSI above 40

Achilles don't run small.. I just put a 245/35 on my 10.5 . I had then generals before and run large.. stretch looks identical IMO. I even sent Marcus a few pics the other night..


I just finished my car finally tonight

Less camber out back now since I had the tein basics and needed every camber I could get since they don't dampen :/

Bc 10/8 perfect preload and full stiff. Clear rear tire by a piece of paper and don't clear rim but whatever lol

Pics will be up this weekend

Edit: here's a little cell phone pic of a Achilles 245/35 on a 10.5

It's not the stretch at the bead/barrel that's different when we say they run small. Its the way the sidewall stretches. Generals have a round bulky sidewall. Achilles are anything but bulky, making them run "small" leaving more room for clearance than another tire in the same size

Ok maybe I was wrong cause with the Achilles I was able to add a degree of camber .. the generals I was runing -5.5° super flush. Now I am poking some tire.

Yup that's right Chris. Given that you were able to dial in a degree of positive camber without doing any fender work the Achilles definitely run smaller than the Generals.

I like my Achilles. Good tire considering the price. They seem to do well in the rain too
