Goodyear Asymmetrics 1 and 2

Looking at the reviews and statistics on the Goodyears - Found that the Asymmetric 1 - 275/35x18 have a tread width of 10 inches and 265/35x18 are 9.7
Asymmetric 2 - doesn't have 275/35 x 18 sizes available but the 265/35 x 18 are actually wider at 10.4 inches than the 275 Asymmetric 1's

So tire experts - the shape of the transfer from the tread to the sidewall must be more square on the 2's so the Asymmetric 2's at 10.5 still not rub on an M coupe with 9.5X 18 et 22 wheels ???!

Not sure if you are talking rear tires only or all around. I have Asymetric 2's in 265/35-18 on 9.5" x 22 wheels in the back with no rubbing issues.

great - what do you run on the from because the 265's are not as large diameter as the 275's compared to stock

I run 235/40-18's on my EC-7 wheels in the front. I believe the offset is 35 in the front.
