The change in diameter is an interesting observation, because I ran those old Yokos until it only had 2/32" of tread left.

My new A/S 3+ came with 10/32" of tread, so you may have a point.

I brought the wheels to Discount Tire to have the tires mounted, so they didn't have a chance to touch my car and do anything wrong.

And if something DID go wrong mechanically, I really wonder what it could be because all I did was jack up the car at all four corners.
