I can almost guarantee the contact patch won't be anywhere near what you think it is if you're running that wide on a stock wheel. Also, KDW's really aren't too sticky of a tire to be honest.

Yea it is a summer dry tire
I just like the tread design. And it is not even usable in cold weather. Great for dry weather and some damp weather. Don't even know if they will really fit. Might have to do some modification. 255 x40's worked just fine. Same diameter just half inch more on the inside and half inch more on the outside. We will see.

Normal driving in wet conditions the tires are fine. Dry they are amazing

If only someone made a RWD conversion for our cars...If the Hyundai Genesis R Coupe has RWD..same HP/Tourqe figure..then why can't we . Would make this whole tire thing way too much fun...plus our cars look better.
