Damn for some reason the tire in the back looks like a rubberband...I'm running the same tire and mine doesn't look that low pro...Maybe its just the pic....Beware of the potholes...

are you running 11" wide wheels? that's probably the difference. I'd say those 295s are too narrow for an 11" wheel.

the wheels look great though.

I might as well say it. It looks like you have a warp in those rims.

LUV THEM. Unique

Damn that's some expensive rubber. My cheap as would have to get some the Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110for $281 a piece. While doing some searching i also see the 452s are cheaper in a 285 then the 275. Good to know.

I wouldn't switch...Thats way to much money to spend for getting a wider tire....Enjoy what you got and switch once the tires wear out....
