ahhhh well i just bought 275 nittos....put them up to my 275 mickeys...didnt notice a diffrence if any...so running smaller...from seeing first hand ,.... dont notice anything
+1 i put the 275/40/17nittos next to my 255/60/15 mickeys and the nittos were bigger so if they are smaller you cant see it.

Went to Discount Tire and measured my new Nittos 555's. The 275's were the same width as the Coopers I have now. Didn't measure BFG's, but the Nitto's and Coops were exactly 10.5 inches across the tread.

Maybe it's only the DR's that run smaller?

Only the Nitto drag radials run small.

I have the 275 555r's and they are definitely not as wide as a normal 275. They look fine, but I will probably get getting 315's next time.

Hmm, not sure if this helps, but I ordered 255/50/17 Nittos and compared to my stock 235/55/17 Pirellis, I believe it was like 20mm difference, but they still fit fine.

That should clear up a few things. Is everyone in here talking about the 555Rs or just the 555/other tires?
