Seriously though,
Who has found that tires sizes arent always an ACTUAL indicator of their size? I have a set of potenza's in a 245 wide, on a 8" 350z rim. I also have a set of some cheapo tires in a 225 wide on a 300zx rim. THEY ARE IDENTICAL IN WIDTH. I measured the "useable" width...IDENTICAl. I measure total tread width...IDENTICAL.

Maybe i'm retarded and everyone knew this....but seriously, how can they legally sell tires(a safety item) in a size that isn't really that size?!
