how much smaller do nittos run?

 

Estimate maybe 20 mm smaller?

 

Wow! Is that for real?

Thank god I didn't get them!

 

dam i would have bought 315's if i would have known that[&o]

 

Why? They aren't a bad tire. Just because of that, now I can say that I'm using 315s on my 9 inch wheels (whenever they get here...).

 

they are most deff smaller but id say by about 25-30 mm. i just put 315 nitto's on my car that had 275's of another brand and they are barely wider.. look like crap on a 10.5 rim. if you buy a 10.5' rim get 335 nitto's.

 

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

 

I've had 275 555Rs sitting next to 275 BFGs...you can tell a difference. It's not HUGE, but eh.

 

ill get a pic with the mickeys smart ***...the bfgs run bigger bc my buddy got 275 bfg and they are wider than the 275 mickey

 

I just ordered Nitto 275/40/18 for the fronts and 285/40/18 for the rears to replace from Discount tire to replace my Cooper 275's. I'm supposed to have them installed tomorrow. If they are smaller, I'm not buying them. I'll just go with 4 - 275/40/18 BFG's. I wanted the BFG's to begin with, but their 285 has a different tread design than the 275.

Damn, I'm glad I read this!
