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

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.http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/h...wwheels009.jpg

Yes the KDs are wider than the Sumitomos. They will fill up the rear like the Goodyears.

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

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.
