Tire Check in-larger than stock and no Rub!

2005 C55, bone stock suspension, 75Kmi

Summer wheel set up is SL55 Rotary/Turbine wheels

New tires are Dunlop Direzza DZ102

Front is 18X8.5 ET30 with 235/40/18

Rear is 18X9.5 ET33 with 265/35/18

I have had the trunk weighted down but no passengers. Still, no rubbage front or rear. Nice tire for the $$, great initial turn in response. They are a bit on the heavy side but that's also due to my wheel choice which makes the car seem a bit heavier in the steering.

Overall, very happy there is no rubbing under steering lock situations and really gives the car some big shoulders from behind!

Hope that helps and have a great Memorial Day weekend. Thank you to all of the fallen soldiers for their sacrifice.

I'd be happy to but I'm in the dark ages and don't have an online picture storage account. At least I don't think so. Is there any way to post pictures from my phone? I guess I've done this previously but new iphone and I are still learning each other.
