Yokohama AD07 on 335 sport stock wheels?

jag3er · 05-14-2009, 02:57 PM

I want to swap run flats for Yokohama Advan AD07 but Tire Rack doesn't carry the rear stock size of 255/35-18, closest are 265/35-18 or 255/40-18. The diameter is larger on the 40 so I was wondering if anyone tried to put 265/35-18 on the stock wheels and if there are any risks of tire wear, etc. My rear RFTs are at the wearmarks thanks to Dinan so I need your help fast.

265's are pretty wide for a 8.5" wheel. I would recommend looking into another tire that is available in a 255/35/18.

Found an alternate tire, Bridgestone Potenza RE-11. I'm going to get that one. Thanks.

From initial feedback, you should be very impressed with the new RE-11.
