Default Widest 275's

Just had one of my tires explode on me and need new tires. I had falken 275/40R17's on it and probably going to get the same size all around. The falkens looked skinnier than other 275's, who makes the widest 275 radials I was looking at the Azenis falkens as well as nitto's, I don't need dr's but looking for something that will hook well on the street. Open to suggestions!

BFGoodrich makes a pretty wide tire in the KDW series. Goodyear Eagle GS-D3's are also a pretty stiff sidewalled tire but they are pricey. Nittos run small in any size.

17s or 18s? If they're 17s, just go with 285/40/17s.

BFG KDW2's run pretty wide.

The nitto nt555ZR do not run narrow at all they are some wide tires. I'm running them on stock 9" wides and they look beefy. BFG kdw2 is probably the widest running street tire though.

After seeing many, including the BFG KDW, I'd have to say that the Goodyear GS-D3 is the widest for it's size.
