Default 285/40ZR17 GSD3's true world width

I got two of my four tires today from discounttiredirect. I think they didnt ship four. Anyway, I measured the tire laying on its side. I layed flat piece of metal over the top side. It measured 12 3/8in from rim guard to rim guard. I am very impressed. Now I got to get my other two and see how they feel on the road.

I paid like 215 per tire shipped but they got a 40 rebate right now. I called UPS and they say they only picked up 2 packages. Discount says they wrap 2 tires together to make a package. I see no signs of my two tires being wrapped together with other ones. I dont know if I should wait or just put the two on now.

You will absolutely love those tires. Especially if you like to go around corners.
