They definitely hit. It rare, and in 10k+miles on the tires, maybe it hits 5 times, but as you can see, it effects both front tires. I can tell when it hits because there's usually a bit of a rubber smell.
It does take a good bump or dip to do it. I think the first time I hit, I was pulling .9G in a tight 90deg turn doing like 50 and there was a bump in the turn and there's a bridge here that has a rise in it that causes it if I don't gently roll over it. I've had people honk at me for doing 10mph over the bump.
So just beware, it can happen. I'm not sure I'll do 295s again, but the added traction does make it almost worth it.
