I decided to upsize to a 265 and I am glad I did. I like the look. Little extra wheel protection never hurts either. Only had them a day and my old tires were DONE\, so of course these feel amazing, but I'll nee some time to know for sure. They checked all my boxes. Sorry for the crap rainy pics - I had to pull it into my shed to get pics as it will be raining the next 5 days straight............
the tread reminds me of a Nokian Hakkapeliita I used to run in the winters. That made my old Subaru unstoppable in the snow.
I was not a fan of the tread when I first started looking for what tires I wanted, but then I saw a few in person on cars in parking lots and they did not look as aggressive as I feared. I hated you can't side to side rotated, but with a good alignment and tire pressure - they should be OK. I'm pretty **** about both. Honestly - I don't even notice the tread now that they are on. Ride so far has been good. I'll be on a trip with them this weekend. It has been raining 24/7 since I put them on, so hard to judge road noise yet. They get good marks for it on reviews though, so should be fine. I'm sure I'll get to see how they do in the snow soon enough - unfortunately. I hope they do as well as it sounds like your Nokians did. LOL
Dead wrong as well. My MPG went up when I switched from PS4 Sport A/S to CC2 SUV. I average about 1mpg better with the CC2. I am particular about checking tire pressure, so yes, my tire pressure is always consistent. I took the same long trip 3 times on the PS4 and 2 times on the CC2 (800 miles round trip). MPG was +1 with the CC2. So don't listen to folks who tell you these will lower your gas mileage.

Anyway - if it helps anyone decide.
Which tire pressure are you using as the door readings (for Y not CC2 V rating) is 36/39 which according to the manual tables is for full load and “normal” is 33/33

I run 36psi all the way around. I tried lower pressures after reading advice from folks on here, but overall I feel like the vehicle feels a bit sloppy with this particular tire at lower pressures. 36 psi cold, or 39-40 psi hot has been good for me. Plenty comfortable, but also feels responsive. If you have a high performance tire with a stiffer sidewall, lower pressures might make more sense. Everyone will have there own opinions on this, but I say 36 all around.

They had 38 in them when I drove them home and they felt a little stiff. I'm sure I'll adjust as I get use to them.
