Getting mixed feelings about it now. I guess if I'm really concerned, I should just step back down to 225s (already spent the money on these tires though! )

I am definitely more concerned about the safety aspect, then about the performance loss at the moment. I've spent the money on the tires, so kinda want to use them, but if its clearly going to be unsafe, and I risk a blowout, or worse, ripping the tire from the rim, then I should figure out downsizing.

Anyone else with experience tracking or autoxing with a 235 on the stock 7.5" rim?

Appreciate the responses so far!
