Hahaha, that's what I was running (Lexani) before. I actually have no complaints about those tires. I bubbled both my fronts and that was my fault for running them too low. I just decided to go with a better all around tire. I'm not lowered so I can help you there.

Thought it was pretty cool that your running toyo 285/25/22 and lexani 245/30/22. Cause that's the exact same set up I have on my car right now. As for recommendations I would check the wheel thread and see what everyone is running.

I've been through that thread but it's just people listing what they use. No one has anything about thread life especially lowered on springs or whatever. I know a lot of people on this site run 22s lowered but haven't seen recommendations on what lasts long. I don't really care for dry performance because i just don't drive the car that way. Looking for quiet long lasting tires on a lowered car. I have a slammed supra running a ton of camber and haven't noticed major inner tire wear but those are 18s with a lot more rubber.

Got them on the car and did a quick run town the street. Very quite and smooth!!! Got up around 60 mph. Will do a freeway run maybe tomorrow. So far, very happy with these tires!

I have had a defective rear tire with Continental and I have two rear defective Pirelli tires right now. I am going to Michelin and staying. In the 7 years I had dropped cars I have tried A LOT of different tires and they only brand I never had an issue with with wear, noise,durability, or getting a perfect balance on the first shot. I will only go with the PS2 for now or at least they get the Pilot Super Sports in our sizes.

I was surprised when I searched threads and never saw anyone running these. Almost went the continental and ps2 route but a local place had these stocked.

Glad to hear you like them
