Yup, slowed down na lang. Even the highest speed for the wiper wasnt enough, a lot could happen during the time the windshield is covered with water.

basta heavy rain 80kph na lang ako, just to be safe

Yup, was at the EB with the Mazda Group but only for a short while...White strada, with black flares and yes, ralliart rims with Geolander HT. But there was a silver strada with ralliart rims that day too.

The tires or rims do not rub against any part of the body or chassis, due to the offset of the 8" wide rims. This also results in the wheel not centered to the mud flaps...and kulang din yun width nung stock mud flaps sa 275s. Dapat na nga siguro kumuha nung Ralliart Mud Flaps from Sir Dadz.

I do feel a slight difference when in motion, apparently due to heavier and wider rim/tires = more rubber contact and more effort for the engine. However, I am still happy with the way my truck ran. Was comfortable doing 120-140 at SCTEX, at 120kph the engine rpm was at 2400-2500.

OT: apologies could not make it to metrowalk tonight...just sneaked this in, still in the office.

ah I see sir...

I got jumbled up pala hehehe...

tama nga siguro sir na kumuha narin tayu ng mud flaps, kasi even with my 265 A/T's issue din yung water splashing sana ma prevent yun pag nakakuha tayu ng mud flaps...

salamat sa info sir av8or5! could you recall if the rims pop out from the fender flairs? +20 daw kasi offset ng rims. ayoko sana kasi yung lumalabas sa flairs. one more thing sir, could you recall if his 285 tires appear "concave-looking" relative to the rims? sinaggest kasi sa akin 265 lang.

salamat sa pagsagot sa post ko sir! if possible baka pwede mo ako tulungan ma-contact si sir boy25 para i can go straight to him for my queries...para di na kita maabala.

thought of sending him a pm kaso di pala active on-line

more power to the strada club!

hello mga stradings owner, lalo na here in baguio. any updates sa mga strading? ask ko pala mukhang cheapest pa rin ba yung mickey thompson na A/T tires compare sa iba for the R17 tires. atska ask ko lang san ba makakabili ng center cap ng rims, kc natanggal ung isang center cap ko, lagi namang wala sa mitsu parts sa naguilian.

Sir, I hope these pics help. These were taken during our Baguio funrun...

How does the 275's perform? wala po bang naging rubbing? and may napansin po ba kayung changes with the engines performance?
is that AT or MT?...

I'm using Pirelli Scorpion ATR 275s on stock 2007 GLS Sports rims. No rubbing issues. Still quiet on highways, and no change in fuel consumption. I already logged 10,000kms on them.
