Anyone done this? Any issues like rubbing or can't use cable chains?
The only reason I'm considering it is so that I can run Pirelli Pzero Nero M+S tires. They are available in the 225/50 size, but not 215/55. Without going to the horribly expensive michelin Pilots, the only decent option in the 215/55 size is the Conti Extreme Contacts. The Conti's just don't have the dry traction the Pirelli's have. I've run both and would prefer the Pzero's - if I can get some that fit. The OEM P6s are the suck.
