Question Skinny and wide 315's?

Is the BFG DR actually wider than the Nitto 555R, even though both are 315/35/17 tires? I don't have my old Nitto to compare.

Yes, nitto's run small. The 315 is actual tire width, instead of the more popular tread width reading..

Really? Can you measure both? Are we talking about BFG KD? I currently have Yokohama AVS Sports on the back and the KD in the front. I'll be switching to the KD in the back fairly soon, and I am wondering how they compare to the Yokos. Hope I don't have to do any more fender banging.

^^ Your tires look about as wide as my 315 KD's, If I can find my tape measure I'll go measure my KD's, I know when I got them on the wheels though I measured them and I'm 90% sure they were 12.5 in across mounted with 30 PSI.
