Hey Paul, which tire do you feel is a best all around tire Goodrich Comp 2 A/S or the Conti. DSW 06? I was originally looking at the Goodrich, but they were on national back order.

Interested to see what you think of them and how they look. I need to get some all-seasons soon and these seem like a good bang for the buck. Although I don't plan on driving in the snow, it will likely be below freezing here on a regular basis, so it seems like a summer tire such as the michelin pilot super sport may not be the best idea. I wonder if these sizes will fill out the wheel well enough to where the car wouldn't need to be lowered on springs.

You may have a slight rubbing issue with the front......

I'll post a picture and first impressions when I get them on

I honesty regret n going with a 305/45 in the rear. But I guess I wasn't thinking. Does look a little silly if you stare at it from the dead on side. Because the 40front and 35 rear. But I just took them on a 200mile trip through light rain and some twist. And they stuck like glue.

Anyone know if these tires run true to size or slightly larger as some brands? Looking at a possible 285/35R20 square set up or a 275/35 front and 295/305 rear stagger.

Any additional pics from others who have these tires would be great!

Finally got a set of these installed as well, tire shop forgot to order them the first time I went. Gotta say first impressions are great, especially once I got them properly inflated. Would echo some caution as I had a similar problem to J_MENIS with the shop. Got home all my lugs were not torqued correctly and had to be tightened and the tires were only inflated to ~36psi all around when the tires call for 50. Scratched up the lug nut wells pretty hard too but at least the wheel facing wasn't touches. I'll see if I can get some pics of my square set-up posted later.

Why are you following the max tire PSI on the tire? That is what it maxes out at but you should follow the stock PSI of 32 all around. Its dangerous to run that high and you are gonna get uneven tire wear doing that. Also, your tires heat up as you drive and the psi will increase by a few pounds which could cause a blow out if something crazy happens. If anything 36PSI is probably the most you should have the tires at.

36 psi hot would be pretty close to 32 psi cold depending on climate. You might get great gas mileage on 50 psi but you are going to wear the inside of the tire as mentioned and significantly reduce your traction. Also, lugs should be re-torqued after 25 miles or so initially. Make sure you are putting them around 150 ft. lb. per the specs.

To be honest I just went by what my folks always told me growing up which was following the sidewall. Didn't know there was a manufacturer recommended PSI until now. Adjusted the pressure. Thanks! And yeah, got my torque wrench set to 150 ft lbs.

285s are a big step down from 2745s though.
