You can but the 255 fits better. 265 would be better on a 9 to 9.5 inch wide wheel

how do BF Goodrich g-Force compared to Azenis performance wise? I like the look of the G-force, just looks so sick and had plenty of good reviews. It's a bit pricey though.

kdw?

those are great tire, alot better in wet than 615rt but i think 615 is a tad better in dry summer performance, even though they dont last that long at all 10-15k MAX

^ I wish I could get 15K outta 615's... these tires do grip really well in the dry, but rears dont last long at all. I need to replace mine soon and they have roughly 8K on them, the fronts have lasted through 2 sets of rears and still have some life in them.

Note: I never launch/drag the car and I try to keep the sliding to a minimum, they are just have so much grip/ low tread count that they wear out fast

yeah, i had the 615 as my last set and got ~12-13k. switch to the falken 512 and hopefully it can get over~20k on the rears.

225/255 combo they last me 6K and the rears are slicks now lol. 2 oil changes. Just hard driving. The fronts have 1/3 or maybe almost 1/2 tread left. Canyon runs and hard driving kill em.

I finally got my BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT installed yesterday. I went with you guys' opinion 225 front/255 rear. Bit pricy but worth every freakin' penny. All I can say is WOW!! Corners that i couldn't take it 30mph with stock tires now i do 45 easily. I really do believe tires make a bigger difference than suspension wise.
