Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 in 255/40/17 on stock rims
Has anyone run this size on stock rims (17X8)? If so, what are your impressions? I have heard quite a few people running the 255/40 Falkens, but would rather try the Dunlops out.

Thanks

I run 255/45 on the stockers at the moment...no problems at all unless you make a U turn and there is a small amount of rubbing on the front fender liners at full lock.

Nothing to be worried about, though.

Have to wait another week or two until we have no more snow in the forecast.

Your tire's sidewalls don't look as bad as the other RT-615s I've seen. I'm talking about the sidewalls being force to work on a smaller width rim than what they recommend. Keep those tires away from the paint, your gonna scratch the car
