Can't wait for tuning to be finished. I wanna hit the dyno when It's done so I can get Kevin and the community a number of what the R can do with the R on E with a good tune.

They are a rebranded bridgestone tire.. Ultra High performance summer tire. Very good reviews and very reasonably priced.

I can get them 180ea so that's not too bad. Would be better to daily on and wouldn't be bad for traction.

I have 245's mounted on 7.5 wide wheels and the tread is the same width as my 235's on 8" rims.

Going wider without getting a wider rim will catch up to you at some point. If you have 9" rims and 9.5 wide tired you are ok. If you have 7.5-8" rims and 9.5 wide tires, the tread will wrap around the sidewall because the rim is too narrow to spread it out. It also won't handle quite as good.check the tread width specs on the tires you are looking at. If they are over 1" wider than your rims, you won't be able to utilize the full width.
