hows the ride on that setup..do potholes do any damage and is it bumpy?..im switching to a much lower profile and i was wondering how it handles and how rough the ride is. also if anyone has that exact setup, pics would be awesome

thanks

 

I have 235-40-18's and just found out I have three bent rims due to snow plows tearing up the highway. Ride is a lot rougher than factory 50 series tires.

 

damn thats bad news man

hopefully keeping the psi a lot higher would prevent bent rims

 

Not really. I had them at max PSI as it was. Bad roads...

 

what kind of rims do you have? that's a huge factor

 

Ruff Racing. They are not name brand, but they are far from lightweight. I intentionally stayed away from lightweight rims due to this very issue. The car is drivable with the bent rims, but at certain speeds, I feel it a bit through the steering wheel. Most people driving the car would never know. I know and that's what counts. Time to find some new rims....

 

well i'll just have to drive carefully and watch the potholes..i mean a 40 profile isnt that skinny..lota people are rolling on 19's w/ a 35 profile..so who knows

 

245/45/18 is really good

 

a little bit rougher. I noticed most of harshness from replacing springs.
