Notfinding a lot of 295/40/22 tire options that I want in that $550/tire range. The pirelli asimmetrico look like an OK tire, but these OEM's can be sketch in the rain when turning so not sure I want pirelli's again.. The continentals are being discontinoud, and it seems they sucked anyways. I think Ill end up witht he PSAS4's.

If you get them road forced, I'd be curious the lbs they showed up with before correction.

OK. I have yet to see anyone around me using that, and it seems like its been out forever. These tires were hard to come by here, and itll be Pep Boys that does the install.

I'm going to get chalk too, and figure out PSI in a couple of weeks. I will run 34 for now.

I road force every tire I mount. When I find a tire with too much force I have them swap it out. I feel a round tire is important and without doing a road force in addition to the balance you will never know.

They should have a road force machine:

Damn, I used to live right there. I am about 75-90 mins away. Food for thought next time, thanks. I did not realize they put one in.
