    NICE I think that 315 setup is the widest did you go runflat or non runflat

    Non runflat. I want a softer ride:happy: They should look sweet with the Eibach springs on it.

    Oh for sure. Thats why I never wanted to modify my stock springs. If I dont like the Eibachs or they cause other issues etc I will stick my stockers back on:happy: I am confirmed to get a set of the first shipment which should be tomorrow.

    Can you let us know how well they balance? I'd be interested to see how true those are. Thanks.

    Just as a comparison to some other combos out there. Take a look at the overall width of both tires. HUGE. I will do the same thing with the stock tires once I take them off.

    They came out to 26.75"

    I wonder how much clearance they have with the sway bar links, as others have had rubbing issues with these tires. I hope non, as this will be my next mod.

    So the Duellers win the fat contest
    Stacked-up you get 26.75" for 2 tires wich works out to 13 3/8" or 340 mm.
    The Michelin Latitude HP come in second at 26" or 13" wich gives 330 mm.
    The Michelin Diamaris I had last year were narrower, probably a true 315 mm

    With my experiences in the past all Bridgestone tires balanced really nice. I would say they would be a very true tire, and considering they are only a 20 balancing should not be that difficult...

    these will be my next tire as well. Maybe pulling my ediff and abs fuse to help me get them a little sooner.

    What brand are they and will there be a clearance problem in front or back with the added width?

    As some of you may know, Bridgestones Potenza RE040's come stock on GTO 18" rims.....and they were crap and didn't balance well at all. I understand not apples to apples, but they were Z rated high end tires going for $217/per tire and weren't worth a dime. My experiences, based on over 30 cars all with performance tires, Mich's and Goodyear's - with the Mich's clearly having the best overall tire quality and are consistantly top rated. Anyone that has run PS2's and not loved them, chime up. But again, type of application, driving habits and budget all come into play and everyone has their preference. Sorry for the off-topic.

    I understand your concerns but the Bridgestone Dueler HP Sport is the factory 20" tire for Porsche Cayenne Turbos. I don't think Porsche would pick a subpar tire considering they dont take shortcuts especially on tires/brakes.
