Good to know as that's what I picked up for the OEM rims to replace my stockers. I have 37K on the clock and they are bald. I'll run the new weatheractive's for my winter set and picked up a set of Lexani LX twenty's for my summer 22inch rims. Purchased all 8 tires for less than you can get a set of 4 factory replacements

On my second set of Lionhart LH-Five’s and will buy a 3rd when I wear these out. Don’t let the name or the price fool ya…there’s a reason these tires have such a huge following online. I’d go with a 295/40/21 and fill out that wheel well more. That size tire fits the factory 21 great.
Oh good stuff. Thanks for the recommendation on that size. I'm at 16k and my tires are nearly bald. Terrible life on these stock 21" tires. Gotta see if my local tire shop has these in stock.
Would you say the 295/40 will have better grip over the stock tires with the Lionharts? These tires break loose pretty easily before the fronts kick in for traction.
The extra width will surely help with traction but I doubt your local shop carries them. Virtually everyone orders them from Simple Tire either directly or through eBay.

Yeah my shop didn't have them in stock. They ordered them and will have them in about 6 days unfortunately. $780 installed. Probably a little more expensive then ordering through Simple Tire and finding a place to mount and balance but no biggie on the price difference.
Thanks again for the recommendation. I was considering buying a set of wheels and tires lol. Luckily I didn't get another set of wheels as I already have 4 other sets of wheels laying around for the other cars

What’s the difference? The “RF” are cheaper and I can’t find anywhere that might decide what all the “BSW MW RF” might mean but per the specs the non “RF” are a half pound heavier?!

I second the Pirelli WeatherActive's. I just put them on a week ago and then got to drive in some serious downpouring rain. As I was about to roll over standing water at highway speeds I found myself getting ready to deal with some hydroplaning that used to happen with the OEM Pirellis but it never came. The WeatherActives handled it great! It was rock solid in the heavy rain. looks like they'll also be better in MN winters as well, but I have Michelin X-ice's for that

Looking to replace my 21" Pirelli Scorpions too, stock suspension, 80% Austin,TX hwy, 20% city/dirt miles, would 295/40ZR21 111W XL Lionhart LH-Five’s still be a solid choice?
