Any thought on how the 255 width will look on a 4/6? Looking at some Blizzak DM-V1 rear tires to help me off the line during the wet/cold season months.

 

[quietpeen]

imo they will look thin

Def' will be a visual difference going from my current 305mm tire that's for sure but they are coming off until Spring so looking for a nice snow/winter rear tires to help with coming off the line on the street.

Heard great reviews about this brand in use of heavy winter and wet/iced roads. We have more of the latter vs the former. I guess its going to be more function over form state of mind for this decision.

I have no clue what that'd look like but i'm not good with tire sizes

See what a 10" wide tire looks like on a 4/6 pretty much. I think my old factory tires were only 245mm wide and i ran those for a few years on stock height LOL. Guess there is hope now.

 

[quietpeen]

i thought the stock tires for 17's were 265, but really doesn't matter...LOL

I know that blizzaks are supposedly great winter tires

Just checked my build sheet and shows the crummy 245/70-17 lol
Heard rave reviews about the Blizzaks too and snow/winter tires are some what the poor man drag radial.

 

[quietpeen]

oh damn...maybe that had two different sizes on the 17's?

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

Some came with 265-70-17. Guess whatever was within arm reach of the tech during assembly lol.

Blizzaks rock for ice. That size is gonna look funny though.

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

they will be taller than what i have now so that's fine.
