Silver lining?
 

So here's how my kiddo free, just the wife and I for the first time in FOREVER Saturday started:

No one to bitch at but myself. I was parking the back 40 at Harbor Freight, turning in towards a curb to park as close to it as possible...everyone bumps a curb now and then, I bumped one that has been run over hundreds of times and had a nice jagged point on it. It went right through the side and punctured the sidewall. If there is a good thing, it's that two of the tires were bald when I got the wheel and tire setup...I replaced those with brand new tires and luckily put them on the rear...so the two I'm going to now replace are the older ones...essentially I'll have a full set of new tires now.

For now I'm just running the SEVENTEEN INCH spare they include on these trucks. The truck has a little lean to it but not as bad as I thought it might. I'm going to ride the bike as much as possible, if not every day, this week to keep from driving on the spare.

Now, here's the silver lining...should I stagger my tires and go with just a bit narrower tire up front to eliminate the little bit of rub I have at full lock? Right now I run 305/45R22s on all corners, but I wonder if a 295 might be a little better?

Wow atleast it was your older tire got lucky there, is it rubbing because its to wide or be cause its to tall?

A little of both, I think.

Try the 295 up front dude. Can't hurt anything.

295/40

I'm still unsure...part of me says to just stick with the same size. I need to figure it out so I can get them ordered.

They make 285s in a 40 & 45 profile

oh that blows dude!

Sucks to hear! My vote goes to staggered tires.

I decided to stick with the 305/45 for a full matching set. I know what it looks like and don't want to regret staggered.
