That's true, they kick up a lot, but nothing that has damaged my car in any way.

It was actually photos of your car that inspired me to get these tires....so thanks!

Although I do have to mention that I did notice some peppering of the paint, so will be looking into adding gt500 splashguards front & rear.. I think they'll help without standing out too much. Of course I didn't like seeing the tiny spots in the paint (when really close to it), but I drive the car and enjoy the grip of the tires so it's a tradeoff.

I would like to see more pics of your car in the sunlight and preferably on flat ground as I run a 255/40 front tire and you have 255/45

They really are cool tires - I ran them on my ride for a bit - really good looking and they are the stock 27 inch ride height so no speedo issues

Glad to see other people enjoying them

MY issue was that I had to change to a different tire due to the SC - naturally aspirated these seem to be a prime tire. If you are SC... that 200 treadware rating rears its head awfully quick. I don't thrash the car much but my rears were done in 13K miles

Here's one of a side view. I love the stance the FRPP springs gives the car.
