Your opinion is wrong. They are not unsafe.
TONS of people drive on 275/40/17's on a 8" rim.
Nobody has had any failures because of it either.

Opinions are nor Right or Wrong. Call around to the performance tire shops and see what they say. If its unstable on cornering as many say...then its not good in an emergency situation.

It's my opinion that owning a Ford Mustang makes you a homosexual.

I've ran a 275/60 DR on a 15x8" rim for a year now. I don't drive on them everyday(when I do go to the track they stay on for weeks though lol) and haven't had any sort of trouble with them. Perhaps the taller sidewall makes a difference but I don't think so.

I have 275's on my stock rims and my car sucks around corners.It is alot more unstable than it was with the 245's.Then again,i got the widest 275's that i could find,I beleive they have a 10.7 in. width,but if you drive the speed limit you should be ok.Definatley dont recommend them for anyone who likes to do any type of autocross.
