was thinking of going with the toyos 285/30 245/35....285 instead of 275 just to balance it out with the front and fill up that wheel gap in the rear...i heard the 285/30 will fill the gap a little better then the 275/30 would...is this tru????

I think I can answer that if you don't mind . . . The 285/30's will provide just a tad more sidewall than the 275/30's (42.75 mm vs. 41.25 mm). So in short, yes they will fill up the wheel well a little better.

I really wanted the falken st115 but they dont make em in 275/30/20, only 275/35/20...they're a superb all around tire with a 360AA treadwear rating (very high for a performance tire), rim protector ridge, and quiet ride technology with micro vacuum capsules to suck up road noise

+1 on the 451, I have had mine on my Stern ST-1 19" x 8.5" wheels for about 15K and tread wear has been great. I still have about half my tread life left. I say great tire.

I recently ordered a set of Michelin Pilot PS2s. Expensive as hell, but I've seen good reviews for this tire compared to mixed reviews on the T1R. Michelin is like the IBM of tires. "No one gets fired for buying IBM." <-- Old saying from the mainframe days.

I was considering the GS-D3s, but a weaker sidewall and mushier response put me onto the Michelins.

Good Luck!!!

How would you guys compare both of these tires to the BFGoodrich KDW2?

I had a really good experience with KDW's on my current wheels and am deciding whether to get them again on my new wheels, or if I should try something else. Thoughts?

Thanks
