X2 with Trey .. its quite surprising the variations in the "same size" tire from manufacturer to manufacturer

Thanks guy's I am mocking up ride height and even if it is 1" off I should be good. I haven't decided on a 295 or a 305 yet. I'm also a couple of years or more from finishing my car so I don't want to get tires yet, not sure how long they last sitting in the garage past there made date.

They'll last for quite some time really if they're stored inside and out of the sunlight. With that said, I'd hold off until you're closer to actually needing them if you can. There's no telling what new technology or designs will be released soon.

i see a lot of used tires on FB marketplace, you might be able to grab some mock ups/rollers on the cheap.

I do have the one old 295/30...
Thanks for the idea, I am concerned about the off and on off old mock up tires on $3600 wheels
