Tire Size Differences
I currently have the Sumitomos on my '92 ZR-1. They were on the car when I purchased it, however the rear tires, albeit 315's, seem small.
I'm considering the B.F. Goodrich G-Force T/A KD that is for sale on this forum, but are they physically larger, particulary the rears over the Sumitomos? I'm looking for a tire to "fill up" the rear like the factory Goodyears did, and stay within the stock sizes. Thanks

Re: Tire Size Differences
I've been running 335s on the rear for ages, on the stock rims. No problems with rubbing at all. Perellies are the go.
I currently run 335s on new 18x12s on the rear and no rubbing with them either.

The KDs (Killer Dry) are great tires - - - just be careful with them in the wet!

Joe, I run the BFG KD's. I love them! Just keep in mind, they are not the best tire for wet weather. You have to be careful with them. |
