Lol I might just glue it back together.
Sumitomos aren't that bad. But I live in sac so I never drive in the rain.

So long as you don't see any cord showing you should be good. But as said before, keep a close eye on them.

Spacers on 10.5's are unneeded... UNLESS your like me and run an SN rear end on a NE. Then you need the spacer to bring the tire back out where it belongs. So there is an exception to that [MENTION=11896]ttocs[/MENTION]

F**k that Joey just get some 12" wide wheels and run some 335-345's.
Although I'm running a stock width rear in mine and with the 18x10's I'm using a 1" spacer and could probably go another 1/4".

So with the 315's on the 10.5 with my stock bullitt spring will I need to flip the quad shocks?

You might. I took mine off all together so I wouldn't know for sure.

Shouldn't have to man. The 315 should fit fine unless you go with a tire that runs wide

Yeah shouldn't have to I don't think the sumocrappo run wide... I had to flip mine bc of my nt05

I flipped my quad shocks with the excellent 315 Sumitomos because there was about 1/16" clearance...I have 1.5" drop on Eibach springs.
I happen to LIKE the Sumitomos that everyone runs down...I have 25,000 miles on them in 8 years now & they will easily hit 30k+...they had good traction the first few years but definitely have hardened up & spin easily now...which I like with my stock 2:73's lol, they did good in the wet at first which I rarely saw but I DO live in Oregon. I only drive about 3000 miles a year going to shows & cruising etc. and make a big effort to avoid the wet times as I would with any Z rated summer only tire. I especially take care now that the tires are older & less tread...sure hard to beat the price of the Sumi's!

I had 335 sumisuckos come on my 10.5's. They fit but would rub in a hard corner. Looked cool, had no traction wet or dry and I only got 2 yrs out of them.

25 in 8 yrs so thats roughly 3k miles per year.... so your saying the first few years were ok.... his is a DD so i am guessing he probably puts at least triple that on his car. So that means that within a year he will want new tires... Sounds like what all of us have told him. Sure there a great price but you get what you pay for. Me personally would be extremely pissed if my tires had 10k on them looked brand new and wouldn't hook any better then a proper 245/45.... It's Sad when a tire that has 70mm larger contact point and won't hook any better then a 245. The fact you have 2.73 and your spinning a tire that is a solid 10-15 lbs heavier and add in your 10.5" rims so yeah thats a horrible and poor quality tire in my book. Why not spend 50 more per tire and get a tire that will get you the comfort needed in the Dry/Wet whatever conditions you drive in?? Additionaly it being a Z rated Summer tire makes sense to not have it as a Daily Driver tire right there.
