I don't agree what most people are stating about a 235 being to wide for a 7.5 in rim. My 225-35's fit my 18x7 rim perfectly
Personally, I would stay away from the A520's. They are not very sticky & don't last long, possibly 12K miles. I had them on my 87 SPG (205-50-16) & they are very noisy (especially as they age) & do not handle very well. Seriously consider the Parada (my present tire) from Yokohama & if you can swing it, the AVS Sport. I presently have the Parada's & they are MANY times better then the A-520's. MUCH quieter, last a LOT longer & they handle extremely well!!!!!
The AVS Sport is a notch above the Parada's & everyone I have talked to state it's an excellent tire. A comparable tire to the Sport is the Toyo Proxes T1s. Also a excellent choice :o)
If the A-520 was in the $50 range then buy it but it's not worth $100+
