How wide are they compared to a M/T 315? Can you post a pic of them on your car? I found those, but my concern is width and apperance on the car. I really want them to be wide. Thanks

When trying to find tires for my Cobra I looked at Hoosiers, M/Ts, and BFGs. After seeing the 315 M/Ts on a couple cars, I quickly decided against them. They looked like 275s. I didn't want Hoosiers because I was worried about being caught in the rain, because this is my street car, and I didnt want to have to worry every time I take it out, like I do my Camaro. As far as widest, I'd say Hoosiers or BFGs. I went with the 315 BFGs on my Cobra, and they look good, but now I want more, so I'm going with 335 Hoosiers next.

On an 800rwhp car, I guess they would suck

On your normal cam, or H/C car they are great. Definitely better than a Nitto.

How well do you all think 275/40/17 Hoosiers would work on a 370rwhp-400rwhp car?

They'll hook up great but won't last very long.

M/T without a doubt! Absolute best DR out there IMO. The new NT05 DR may be a good choice too though.
