It's a waste of tire and $.....the contact patch will be the same as a 315/30 or 305/35. The only benefit is being able to say "I have 335s".

No matter the tire I get, it will be a waste because I'm dumping them come summer time anyways for tires that I really want. I just thought I'd either spend $400 on a 285, or $400 on a 335. Either way, they'll be gone once summer comes along, so I thought I'd have some fun with 335 while the opportunity is there.

What I'm also considering is just using my 275/35/18 Vredestein's until I can afford a 295.
