i did 265 18 and they didnt chunk at all
I think it's because the 245s were too "small" for your power levels Dousan.

By too small, I mean like, there's not enough rubber there to keep the rubber at a decent heat level, and they get too hot, thus chunking like a mofo.

Once you threw the 265s on there, there's more rubber and the tires are now handling the heat better, and so no problems.


At least that's my theory.

PS - anyone have input on 235/40/18 Federals 595s?
