I agree with everything there..thanks Rodger. I wasn't confused..:lol:

Sorry to add any confusion. I wasn't confused either, but did not realize there were math whizzes here. When most people come in looking for tires they usually don't know what the numbers are for, and on top of that usually get the numbers backwards. Thank you Ironworks for clearing that up. That is exactly right, especially about the bigger the difference the wider the tire. What I meant about the manufacturer was just the fact that while all the tires should be the same width, the widest part may not be in the same place. Example, take your 285/30 19 tire. One brand will 11.22" across the tread (and will have more of a square profile) while another brand may only have 10" across the tread because their widest point is the bulge in the sidewall (which makes the tire look like it is stretched on the rim). The hieghts of both should be the same regardless.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for all of your input...any more pics of 335/30/20 and 345/25/20's?

Wow! thanks, pete! I think that looks amazing (and it's on a 55 chevy!) Isn't that enough sidewall?? especially if it's going on a smaller car like my 71 cuda...What do you guys think? Thanks again.

Hey pete, what front rim width and tire size does the 55 Chev have?

Thanks
John

The front tires on the 56 are 255-35-19 on an 19x8 rim (285's are to wide for a 8" wheel)
The chevelle we have is running a 285-30-19 on a 19x10 in the front with a 345-25-20 in the rear.
I thought the 335-30-20 was a little tall and didn't fill out the rim good.( 12" rim looked almost to wide for the 335)
345-25's fit the rim better for us

Ok, if I go with the 335/30/20 on the 20x12 on the rear,
what tire match do you guys like better on the 19x9.5 front
between a 265/35/19 or a 275/35/19??????????

Thanks
John
