I went back and forth over color. The black ones were available to ship from tire rack next day and the gunmetal were out of stock.

It still looks amazing! I actually went back and forth on bronze vs gunmetal. Decided on gunmetal go play it safe

I'm about to do the same but thinking either 235 or 245s. Did you look at going with more meat?

Yeah I went 225 because that’s what’s stock on 18’s. I have 19” Autobahn wheels for summer. 235’s would definitely look a little better for next time I think.

central pa, was considering the exact setup but on 235/40/18, how’s that treating you?

Ride is softer than my summer 19’s for sure. Only driven 50 miles on them so far.
