40's will more than likely get rid off the rubbing on the suspension. I run 205/40 but my next tire will be 215/40

yah im running tokico blues and eibachs, the drop and wheel gap fill looks amazing, you think a less wide tire would help?

What exactly are you rubbing on? The bottom of the strut or?

took the tires off the front and theres a little clean spot on the struts. at above like 25-30 mph it sounds like a light saber or something of that matter over and over again. someone said it might be a cv joint but im gunna get new tires and see

So it's touching the bottom of the struts? Then the jump down from 45 series to 40 series will solve your problem.

No problem. I'm actually looking into some new tires as well and have heard very good things about the Kuhmo Ecsta ASX. For 67 bucks a tire on tirerack in the 215/40 size, you can't go wrong. I've heard it's quite a good performer as well.

A Texas winter? lol I had the AST's (205/50/16) and they were great the first winter as well as the dry and wet but the second winter they sucked balls. So I picked up a set of dedicated snow tires. No more all season tires for me.

lol i actually just got a set of the ASX from tire rack, cept in 205/50 cuz i was getting tired of the skinny tire look lol
they shipped QUICK, ordered friday and they were here Wednesday
havent gotten them mounted yet, have to raise my car quite a bit to get them to fit since i was slammed on 205/40's lol
The ASX is a great all-season tire. I had them last winter and they were fine. Honestly though, I had Khumo SPT's before and they did just as well in the snow that we get in Texas and they're a dedicated summer tire. They were also WAY better in the dry and wet. I would have gotten the SPT's again, but they only make one 16" size now it's nowhere close to a fit for a P5.
But the ASX is better and cheaper than comparable Toyo and Falken all season tires. It's also WAY better than the AST and isn't much more expensive.
