I don't care about the thickness I'm just surprised to see someone running 325's. I run 305's and people seem flabbergasted.

What do you drive?  Vette?  Truck?

You've gotta put down power from a Chevy V8 somehow, right? :) I only need to put down power from a straight 6 so 235 works for me.

Checked the tires on my pathfinder so I could join in the conversation... P255/70.  12" clearance, ~7" of tread wall, slop it in 4 low and it's perfect for Tulsa Streets.  [;)]

Truck. Every tire store I've been in puts 255's or 265's on trucks with the occasional 275 or 285. When I bought the 305's they were actually cheaper in that size than the 275's and 285's were.

Be more careful with something so delicate....

325s are just too damn wide.

My Dodge has 215/55/18s on em.  They seem a little narrow, but I'm thinking about changing wheels and tire width.

This profile talk has me harking back to my early twenties and my 84 SVO with stock 225-50VR16 Goodyear Gatorbacks.  I think I replaced those for about 150 a piece. ONCE!

No biggie with my current 94 Cavvy.[8D]
