Yeah well hate to beat a dead horse but the guys I talked with was a small custom tire shop in Chicago who I have been doinng business with for the last 15 years. He said he did not see a problem for the real word gave me in the inside contact to Tire Rack (direct line). The guy at Tire Rack was the one who said its not a good idea because the bead can break loose under load. My gues is you guys passed that test [X(]

Anyway its still a pertinant topic for all to read...........
BTW I found some Toys TS1's I think these might be a good tread for rain which is where I get a little paranoid at 80 MPH on the freeway.....

well, i think they have to say that for any size that is not the original equipment for lawsuit purposes. The guy that installed mine did have some trouble mounting them since they are real wide for a 17X8. Yes i have them on all 4 corners. there looks like a bit of rubbing on the front sway bar but only slightly.
