10W tires Anyone running them. Do they fit or are their issues. Also what are the benifits of running a W tire over a non W. I know it is a little wider but what else. Basically what makes it a W.
Re: 10W tires I ran the w's last year and they do grow quite a bit. They are quite a bit bigger than the none w's. But they have the same compound and initial circumference. If you check out the Mickey Thompson site it will tell you.

I never ran regular 10.5's so I don't know if there is more trimming to do. I'm sure there is, and I know that when I first started trimming my bumper and front lower lip, I wasn't very happy, but that's the price that you pay.
3055S 28.0/10.5-15 M5 24 9 9554 11.7 10.0 28.1 88
3055W 28.0/10.5-15W M5 26 10 9554 13.1 10.9 28.1 88
The 11.7 to the 13.1 is the sidewall width and the 10.0 to the 10.9 is the tread width difference between the 2.
I love my w's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
