Nitto advertises "inflated dimensions" and the mentioned widths don't match the "section width" which is the metric dimension in the sizing. It would be interesting I guess to compare their numbers to an actual tire "on the ground".

Maybe it's just me, but the Nitto looks like a 275 compared to the Goodyear. Possibly just an illusion, as they appear to line up with the upper fender about the same, but does anyone really think they look the same on the ground? And I think the Nittos actually look a little wider than my Sumitomos!

Yesterday installed new 5 spoke wheels and Nitto 555`s on the rear and all i can do is look and imagine. The plenum is off to tie the secondaries open while waiting for the Marc H. chip to arrive.

Here's a photo of our 94 with 335/30/19 Nitto NT-05's. Rubber on the ground was kinda hard to measure but was somewhere around 12".
