    You won't notice a difference in height on that tire. I've heard that Yoko's are prone to building flat spots. I don't have any real experience with them, but the price seems right.

    yeah I did go with the 285's sorry for the late post been kind of busy but I bet the tire you went with will be just a good and you even saved some cash. Good luck with them post up after you get them mounted and tell us how good they hook up.

    I got the Nitto 404s. Nice tires and they handle great in the rain.
