I agree most other 315s would prolly not work...

I'd searched in the past and had no luck- but I was stuck on hold for 1.5 hrs after midnight trying to fix an FUBARed international air booking so spent the time doing something useful.

The tires seemed poorly repped, with only a few vendors selling them, and none posting specs. After all the usual suspects, I googled for a bit then went deep done the results until I found a vredestein domain...

You know the drill, but for others you should really never rely on the 'tire store' to tell you what is "OK". If it is listed as a spec, you are good- if it is not listed, no matter how 'fine' it looks, you should not run it. IMO

Ard, I am generally a pretty good 'Googler' but I never found it, so thx!

The data on the Vredestein 315 (fitting a 10" wheel min) is such an unexpected and timely (for me) little find!

Let me explain . .

As it just happened I had ordered (yesterday) the following wheels in 20 x 10's (different offsets for fronts and backs).



And also, just yesterday, I ordered (4) Vredestein SUV Sessanta 275/40/20s thinking the Sessanta 315s would not work (as all other manufacturer's specs for 315s say 10.5" minimum).

Ard, after you post from last night I called the tire supplier this am and changed my order for the rear tires to 315s!

Thx again! I am very tickled to be getting the 315s on the rear! I am a happy camper today!


Another shot of Avant Garde M510s below. I am very pleased with their weight too - 28.4 lbs for 20x10 compared to my OEM Style 335 19s at 36 lbs per wheel!
