With the bigger tyres you will really notice how much worse those 2005-2011 diameter rotors are, you really have to work hard on the pedal to get them to work with the larger diameter tyres. Mine went blue inside 10,000kM with the change from 255/70/15 to 265/65/17. I changed to T3 rotors but took them off within another 10,000kM as they were still not enough, and upgraded to TRD size rotors. Haven’t had a problem since!

Hi all so yeh ended up getting the 31's put on just after christmas. So far so good with them, ran them 500km on the highway yesterday and no issues at all regarding noise or whatever. There is noticeably more clearance and they handle slightly different to the coopers but to be expected. They certainly fill out the wheel wells much better and there is no scrubbing at all when turning. Regarding loads, the new Hancooks are 109 rated whereas the previous 255/70R15 Coopers are only 108 so i've actually increased the load rating. Braking noticeably is a bit harder on the brakes so may have to look at new rotors in the future, however i don't actually do much offroading or hard braking so it might not be as big an issue for me - most of the usage is around town and general highway driving. I tried to post a picture but not sure if you can on this thread?Surfermax wrote:sjg93 wrote:Great thanks guys - i was confident there wouldn't be any scrubbing but wanted to double check.

Hi, did you end up getting the 31's?

This will provide improved brake performance and no need for 17in rims.
I came from this setup to the prado brake upgrade. While the prado setup is slightly better, the WRX pads make a fair difference.

Any rough costing on those pads? And how much is a new set of rotors?
