Im not quite as wide as those 355's....about an inch less. I hope these damn things fit, I was told by a very informative CL member that they would.


I went with the Conti's because they are the only company that makes that particular size at the moment. Pirelli is supposed to be coming out with that fitment, but its still in developement.

I actually read some great reviews on this tire, and it looks great too.

All I need now is some wheels to put them on.....which shall be soon!

Even with a 3 inch lip, the main reason i think hes going with that wide is for all the ponies hes going to be pushing.
