Default such a great tire too!

I took a friend for a drive through some backroads the other day and gassed it through every turn. he was amazed that the car handled so well.

Default Here are a bunch of Pictures from today (BWW)

I put them back up to 48 PSI in all 4 corners and after about 4k miles there are absolutely no signs of wear compared to memory and pictures from new (no uneven wear either). I just want to get 30k miles out of the tire and I think it will do that for me.

here are the pics

Default true it is, I probably would have gotten 235 if i had known

but when looking at the car from the front or back you can not see the rim poking out so there is a little curb protection.
