Just finished my set up inspired by
@smithrukami's video
. Swapped from standard 21" staggered with Michelin AS4s.
Front: 20x9 Uberturbine - Michelin CC2
255/45/20 - 29.1"
Rear:
21x9.5 Uberturbine (former front wheels) - Michelin CC2
275/40/21 - 29.6"
Initial thoughts: Overall ride feels softer, more so than with 21" uberturbine with 275/35/21s in the front, and 295/35/21s in the rear.
Pros:
- Smoother, squishier ride, quiet, overall pleasant
- Drove through a storm today and Michelin CC2s performed great!
- Higher sidewall adds slightly curb rash protection
Cons so far:
- Steering feels 'heavier' than stock - and has a bit of understeer - not sure if this improves with wheel balancing and alignment. I'll find out tomorrow.
- Speedo is slightly off, haven't compared with GPS but will report back after I do.
- Range - didn't notice too big of a hit but will report back after further analysis.
I'm impressed so far. Feels a like a 20% - 30% improvement from stock. I'm hoping steering improves after alignment and wheel balancing, but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'll check back with any updates.
