Default One down, one to go!!!!!!!!!

Yokohama tires just arrived! 275/30-19 & 285/30-20

The tires look awesome! The sidewall looks much better than I imagined also. TireRack delivered these babies in 1 day! :eek:

Here are some pics. How much longer RC or Wicked??? :D






Going to be mounted on these babies!



I can't wait! :crazy: :smash:

looking good man

cant wait to see what they look like on the car.

Just curious, but what is the tread depth of those 20"?
i have always wondered that on tires that size, and from the pics i have seen lately, it doesn't seem like much there to begin with.

According to Tirerack they have a tread depth of 10/32nds. I can tell you it is pretty close. The tread is fairly deep.
