Worth knowing
- Users note that the tires run wider than standard sizing, which can lead to fitment issues or rubbing on vehicles with tight clearances.

- Drivers of FWD cars with limited camber report that the tires can be sensitive to setup, sometimes requiring higher pressures to prevent shoulder wear.
