Been looking at 555R2s for the rear (ran the 555 originals back in the day but never these, running Mickey Thompson's instead). Looking at the 555 line up, is see two 305 tires.
305/35R20 107W XL 108580 10.0-(11.0)-12.0
305/50R20 116V 108820 8.5-(9.5)-11.0
The 580 is around the size of the stock tires, but still looks at ~ 11 inch wide wheel and is W rated.
The 820 is nearly 3.5 inches taller than the stock, but can take a 9.5 wheel, with only a V rating (149).
Any of you who are more familiar with Nittos now than I am care to explain the differing use cases for these, since they are allegedly the same model of tire? Seems to me if you could legitimately run 305 on 9.5 wheel that would be pretty sweet. But don't you risk wobble on those rears with that much shoulder on that narrow a wheel (so best for straight line only)?
