ANYONE RUN 265/35 WINTERS
I liked the way my hankook icebears ran in the winter but they were 275/35 18 .. cant seem to find the rears as almost all places i try are out of stock .. But i can get 265/35 18 all day .. i know the diamter my be smaller , have been told it might even handle better as its more narrow but not sure before i try them out , just wanna see if anyone else ran 265's in the back thru the winter .. Thanks

Have any of you used Federal SS595 ? I heard that they are wider than other brand so if you buy 265 actually size of 275 of Toyo, hanko....

I know you didn't ask, but I use Dunlop Winter Sport M3 245/40VR18 all around (yes, I'm aware that the rear wheels are wider, but I use the 245's on all the wheels). This makes for a great-handling and very safe winter car. I live in Connecticut and have driven through some significant winter storms. I highly recommend the Dunlops.

just slapped on the brand new 265/35 hankook icebears for the winter .. fckin car feels so much smoother then sport tires .. But even with my winters im still gettin this wobble that I had gotten with my summer tires after removing the 20 inch wheels . Now I cant make out if my fronts <used couple winters now but show barely any wear> are shot and need new ones also or just need to get a front wheel alignment cuz my 20's might have thrown it off wack .. when i threw my 20's back on it drove fine and smooth ..

not sure of pros and cons but the W210 E55 should have staggerred setup not same all the way around , but if it drives good with no problems then I dont see why not .. I personaly would never run 245 on the rear too much power to them rear wheels to have 245's on the back end

I put the 275's on the rear and it feels much tighter. Got the nexen n7000's. Kept the ones I took off the rear as spares for the front (nexen n3000 245's) which match what is on the front.
