Pic in Sig...I love the look, but like others have said, dont buy them for traction. Because there isnt much/any difference.

No there not. A wider tire will grab better if the tire design is the same.

The difference is going to be minimal. Most people go for a 315 Sumi which isn't going to get traction at all. A 315 NT-555 won't grip as much as other street 275's. I would rather have a smaller tire with more grip and less weight than the 315 just for looks.
