Re: Acceptable differences in Tire Sizes 850

I know I have time, but I don't expect many new tires in that size to come out anytime soon. And if they do, they'll be directed more towards import (rice cooker) racing due to the relative narrow width with the low profile. Which causes problems such as insufficient side wall strength.

Heck, I'd buy the Kuhmo's right now if I was going to put them on my car. But since I'm not the only driver, I don't get all the say. I got the say on the Toyo's only because they were expensive enough NOT to warrant suspicion from my dad. My dad has always been a Michelin man, and loves the high performance, yet respectable isolation of the Pilot MXM and the new Sport, and doesn't mind paying for it. I on the other hand, would rather see the money go elsewhere, and not necessarily directed towards the car either.
