WOW!! I am happy to hear all of the great info and positive opinion on this tire. I am just amazed that they are even sold in a 245/30/20. That size is generally reserved for summer tires

I am excited. I called to check on the tires today. The shop had to order them directly from Michellin so its taking a day or two longer than normal. I know they are fatter than the Falken but I will back at a 245/30 in the front. The rear clearance should be ok, but to mae sure I am taking her in monday to drop it all the way down . The rear drop will give me some clearance with the added camber.

the falkens were 1035 installed, but the Michellins are 1400 out the door. I still think the added convenience of the higher tread wear rating will be worth the extra money. I still think the falken is a great tire but when michellin offers a tread wear rating that is 67% higher it tends to get your attention. I just hope I don't have rubbing issues in the rear. The section width on the michellin is .44" wider than the falken
