Nice to hear, I am hoping by the time we have to replace our 21" tires that there might be more selection available for tires.

Camber and or cornering deformation won't really affect that. The camber/caster is adjusted above that knuckle, that part is fixed in relation to the wheel and won't change. The cornering deflection will be at the bottom of the tire and as far as snow, it generally won't build up on the tire, maybe other places such at the back of the fender opening but not there.

Now if you wanted to run chains, you would be out of luck.

Thanks for posting more pics. We'll be ordering a set of the Verde's soon. Has anyone tried the Michelin Latitude's?

Glad to hear they are working out for you. I am very tempted to go with the 265 but I am still holding out hope someone puts out a 255.

I'm getting aftermarket 21s that are 21x9.5 (vs the stock SQ5 21" wheels 21X8.5) and I want to run the 265/40/21s. From rimsntires calculator it shows sticks out 8mm farther than stock.

Default Scorpion Verde A/S

Fedex just delivered these today, $934 out the door from Pepboys. Installing them early next week as temps will hit the 60s. Was going to go with Atturo, but decided on A/S.

Oh man, do posts like this ($934) make me jealous of the US pricing you guys enjoy. I am interested in your response to the space question posed by 2lato.
