Just mounted RE-01R in 235/40/18. They are AWESOME.

Default Anyone have any thoughts on 245/35/18s?
Looking at the Toyo T1-Rs, i rub a little when my 8.5 inch wheels are on, the rolling diameter of this is a little less than the 225/40/18. Any reason I shouldent go this way?

Default The RE-01R is one of the best dry and wet tires on the market, RT-615 sucks in the wet.
Why TF would you buy a tire like that living in Seattle?

It rains in the summer on occasion. Wet performance is more important than dry perf IMO.
