Goodyear SC 3Rs installed on CF R rims (and the process of install)

Where I purchased my setup. Service was really good. They actually answer the phone. No tax as well.

log into USAA.com go to member benefits. Or just do a search for goodyear.
it'll redirect you to goodyear.com with a special token. when you add to the cart the discount will be reflected.

and the tires get shipped to a GY store of your choice for installation. You can NOT waive the installation fee ($75) unfortunately so if you just want the tires loose you will have to see if the store will refund you the money - unlikely.

Dangit...the GY site is saying the 3(non-R) is not available on line and wants to redirect you to a brick and mortar store. And the only options it gives me is the Dobb's Tire in my area...and I f$%^ing hate Dobbs. I don't know how that place is in business with their prices. For 30% off, may have to deal with it though, LOL.

That comparison is only accurate if both tires are measured on the same width rim. The 325 was measured on a rim 1/2" wider than the 305 tire, so mounting it on the 1/2" narrower rim will pull the sidewalls in a bit, making the overall width of the tire smaller. If you look at the specs for the 2 tires, the 325 has a section width of 13" measured on an 11.5" rim, while the 305 is 12.3" on an 11" rim. If you put the 325 on that 11" rim, it will probably measure .25" narrower, making the difference in width less than 1/2", or less than 1/4" additional hanging over each side. IMO, that wouldn't be enough to worry about.

Assuming another 20mm wider (325 vs 305), split the difference 10mm inside and outside, it would definitely stick out even more.

I don't know if the 325 GY would poke as bad as we may think it would. Here's why.

The GY seems to run huge. But on paper, I just did this comparison...here's my 325 Conti on 11.5" R wheel for reference. The SC3 has the exact same section width as the Conti. The tread widths are different though ( GY 12.3" vs Conti 11.8") with the GY being 1/2" wider in the tread. BUT, the overall section widths on the same size wheel are equal at 13". This section width is what would be the measurable, visible sidewall overhang. The difference in tread width would certainly add something to the visuals, but you shouldn't end up with more poke than this.

These are 325 supercar 3Rs on my spare rims, 19x11.5 rear rims. There is some poke, but not significant (maybe .25 or so inches of poke). I ran at the track last Wednesday. Had to get the pressure dialed in a couple times (these tires get hot fast and pressure went up very quickly), but after that, the 3R tires ran great at the track. I will keep rotating between 3Rs and Cup2s for a while. Might also run 315 Cup 2 square set up one time, or maybe a 305 square 3R set up.

So check this out...like I mentioned, TireRack shows the tire "not available to order". But when you do the shopping cart, they list my local Dobbs as the only receiving installer. Swung by Dobbs yesterday to check, and they can't even get this tire from their two distributors. I'm not saying it's out of stock, or temporarily unavailable, I'm saying he said it's not even an option to them. Never made it far enough in the conversation to ask about them honoring the USAA deal.
