Damn, didn't do the math, but I figured it was a bit, not that much though, holy crap, better swap those mudders out
mudders...
245/60/16 is like.. the stock tire size for a 4x4 toyota or something...

just and fyi. if you wanted a fatter looking tires it's the first number in the tire width.. not the middle one just incase you didnt know.

but yeah, you should have done more research before you got the tires. you live, you learn.

Last time I took my Intrepid to BJ's to get tires I ended up having my car towed home becuase they were snapping wheel studs for some reason, dont ask me wtf they were doing but they broke off 3 wheel studs and I couldnt drive my car [&:] And they wouldnt give me any discount or pay for the tow truck!

I just went out for a smoke break and looked at them again. i guess they're not that bad. i think the reason they look so huge is cause i went from totally bald 245/50r15 to brand new 245/60r15. what came stock on my car?
