Default New tires!

Here is a quick pic of the new tires VS. the old tires. As you can see in the pic the worn out slick :durka: (MT et drag radial) is the 275/60/15 and the new tire is a 325/50/15. Both a 28inch tall tire, the only reason i switch was because i got the 325s for 350 shipped brand new off of tech. It was damn good deal so i had to jump on it!

I have found that these tires work best when they actualy have some tread on them. Plus I don't want to get caught in the rain with no tread on my tires!

I can tell that there is difference in contact patch width. Plus the 325s look a hell of lot better in the well IMO. Again the only reason I got them was because of the price. I will see if I can get more pictures maybe from a top view.

Look at the contact patch between the 2 vertical lines, looks to be almost twice as wide on teh 325 tire, good find!
