hiked to the waterfall downstream and stayed there pretty much all day yesterday from 8-2. it was PACKED when we left but we owned that place man, it was so much fun. that dive from behind the waterfall is sketchy but so worth it!

That's going to be a very tough fit on a 7.5" rim, if it's even possible at all. Good luck!

A 255 is not worth it. If its traction you are after, just get a stickier compound tire in 235/40 or 245/40. The tiny bit of extra contact you might get with the 255 will be negated with weight and limitations in the type of tire you can get. 245/40/18 is much more common than 255/35/18.

Dont waste your money on the neogens. The NT-05's are worth it. It helps my 2871 car grip

The Hankooks burn up too quick for my tastes.
