Nash, first of all thank you very much for your comments, I certainly appreciate it. Having a person comment about my info threads and how it helped them makes it all worth the effort.

I used to get very frustrated searching and searching many threads to put together enough information to move forward or to bail out of a particular mod I was considering. I have been heavy on the Acurazine forum since 2003 in regards to my NOW daily driver (2003 Acura TL-s) and that is when I started putting together informative threads to help my fellow Acura people and now here on CL with my LS460 experiences. I will continue to put together informative based/personal experience threads as I step into a new mod, but for now, it will be a while to let my bank account catch up lol.

I have added my informative based threads as part of my CL signature so others will always have access to them quickly. Again, thank you Nash and I am very glad I could help you out!

Brian@Vossen

It rode great to me

+ 2! I have to admit i thought the ride would be rough, but the right tires make a world of difference. We hit the hwy on concrete I-20 E then transition on to black top (from the new pave work form last yr) and the ride was smooth with min road noise, the DWS Cont are worth the $$$.

+ 3 since I have the EXACT same setup wheels/tires/suspension wise I was amazed of how soft it still is and how much of a handling difference it made!!

GOD I want to drop my car so badly. I am still trying to get rid of these wheel vibrations. I think once I get the car riding like it should I may feel a little better about dropping the car especially now that we have the option to order these suspension brackets

I tell people all the time the tires are a big part of the equation. A high performance all-season tire is the way to go for low profile tires.

I am so happy it turned out well knowing how reluctant he was to go this way.

Reluctance is such a bad word lol..the road trips and commute were the deciding factor..my commute is way less and my road trip routes are smooth black top so life is good now...glad it turned out right..its amazing what a game changer these CV1s are..#happy

Do it man...dooooo it lol

Ok, I learned something tonight. I was out in the garage and of course looking at the wheels again lol...actually, I was curious about inner suspension clearances and discovered I literally have about a credit card space in between the front tire and the upper control arm knuckle area..I was thinking it was rubbing but to my relief after running a credit card back and forth between the tire and the knuckle, there was just about that much space..now I did go with 265/30/22 tire size up front so that is certainly pushing the limit with this wheel tire combo. Proper plus size calls for 255/30/22, but Continental DWS does not come in that size. 245 does not meet load rating for the car weight.

Anyway, glad I don't need new tires! The 265 provides a nice ride!

Looks real good playa

That's why I went with a 245 in the front because I was scared the 265 might rub....to add to the rubbing report, when ever I have people in the backseat the back rubs quite a bit on dips and turns which is a no-no for right now...I'm planning on shaving all of the fenders soon so the rear will be safe and I would be able to go with a 265F when the time comes. This is my DD so i'm putting 90miles a day avg. LOL

To be honest 265 is way out of spec and it looks clearly bigger in the front than the rear wheels do. I went 255 after a 245 and I am pretty happy. The only issue I have is that once I switched to the Pirellis I have a slight rub in the rear right. Its weird that its not on my side so I may have to bust out the scissors and metal file

The section width is only 0.04" wider across the entire width of tire..or about .02" per side, so to me its not wayy out of spec and overall sidewall height is not that much impacted from 255 to 265. I cannot tell the difference at all because I really looked to see..I wasn't going away from DWS tires so that was my only load rating approved option. Continental needs to make a 255. I think the wider rear wheel creates an illusion that makes the front tire look different..in person its just not obvious to be concerned...the 22s ride way better than I even imagined they would
