Now that's a wide 285. Mine are a scoche more square than that....

Are those the Vredstiens?
Those are Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3`s
They do run a little wider than all 285`s

I gotta take some of what I said back. They look more stretched in your sig than in that other pic. Improperly fitting wheels and tires are a massive pet peeve to me, so I'm passionate about it....

Like I said, a lot of it depends on thetire. Some run big, some run pretty small....

I got a real good price on them. $212 eachfor the 285`s and $197 eachfor 245`s through discount tire.
The tires are rated one of the best performance tire you can get.

Agreed, they kind ofdo. The whole pic got kind of distorted/pixelated when I sized it down. Thanks for the take-back though. I was starting to stress that I f-ed up pretty bad. I was getting reading to get on the horn and raise some hell.

Wow. 800 bones on 17 inch rubber....

I wanted BFG G Forces, but man....

$510 mounted and balanced for my 265/35/ZR18 Nexens with a 340 treadwear. One of the best kept secrets in rubber today...
