Areas that I used to be able to break the rear free a little, now it hugs tight. Makes me realize my springs are getting soft - just replaced the shocks, but I think that new springs are in order!
For anyone considering it, the wider tires look great, fit fine, and perform.

Hi Guys. I've run with 285/30R19 for a number of years. Various brands from Hankook to Continental. I've seen where the installers have had a bit of a struggle to get them on, but they do fit, and there is no rubbing. Also, going with the 30 instead of the 35 keeps you much closer to stock height for the tire, and thus less skew in the MPH reading on your odometer.
Happy driving,
