Ric04SiR Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm about to order new summer tire. My original Khumo tire are so worn out that my Journey is shacking badly over 100km/h I've been looking for wider tire (love the look) and 255/50r19 seem to be the best fit to replace the original 225/55r19 but I want to be sure that it won't rub anywere with the R/T / Blacktop wheels? Anyone here that use this size on these wheels? I can have Goodyear F1 Asymetric tire at a realy good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Harshbarger Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Everything I've seen and read, the 255/50's will fit. They're snug but they work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nehvada Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 with the size like that the speedo will be a little off. i would go with 245/50-19, as they have the same diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric04SiR Posted March 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Just ordered my new tires. More choices with the 255 than the 245. I bought MOMO A-Lusion M9 255/50r19 they're made for SUV, don't really know this brand for tires just for wheels but they were 200$ cheaper than the Goodyear F1 Asymetric SUV. I will post pics when installed Edited March 19, 2017 by Ric04SiR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Never heard of that brand. Yikes, 280 tread wear, you'll be replacing those in a year! This isn't a performance vehicle, no need for performance tread tires and tire wear in my opinion... jkeaton and 2late4u 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryl Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 probably cost more to ship them than make them jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric04SiR Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 Nah, free shipping. Received them today and got them installed on my blacktop wheels. Can't be worst than the Khumo, I hated them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
