I'm sure there is a point but a 285 is only 30mm skinnier than the widest commercial tire made.
I have personally mounted 335s on Corvettes, and depending on the manufacturer, they can be a hell of a lot more than 30mm wider than a 285.

LMFAO!!!
Haha, numerically, yes, they are 50mm wider, but when you measure, depending on the manufacturer, they can be more than that. Yokohama builds tires skinny compared to BFG or Michelin for example. I measured some different 275/40/17s for my 6 series and there was a 1 inch difference in tread widths from the skinniest to the widest when I checked 5 different brands.'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 305 30 22=10.9" tread width.
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 305 30 19=10.8" tread width.
Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Scudera 345 35 19=11.5" tread width.
Hoosier A6 285 35 18=10.9" tread width.
How many mm to an inch? Biggest street tire made (that I know of) is a 355. Do the math.....
So it is almost exactly as I first mentioned.....30mm.I knew I'd been through this before.Last edited by joshh; 02-17-2007, 12:10 AM.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

lol
Still not seeing how there is any good argument here... You are comparing a track tire to a street tire. Thats like comparing J-Lo's ass to my skinny white ass, there are inherent differences...'88 528e /// '88 M5 /// '89 951 /// '98 E430 /// '02 M5Comment
