Since I was in the process of my winter tire change, I thought I would post a huge example of tread width difference in tire types. No, the picture isn't the front and rear tires. The lower tire is a 305/30-19 Bridgestone RE050A tire on a 19X11 rim. The upper tire is a 295/30-19 RE960AS Pole Position tire on a 19X11 rim. The width difference should be only 1 cm, but you can see it is much more. This will happen even more between different makes. Just something to keep in mind when you change tires and use wheels with aggressive offsets. Good to really see a car running the combo you want to use in order to know if they will really fit.

WOW, that is almost funny! I wonder why bridgestone puts those silly numbers on the side to indicate width!
But, your point is well taken, I have measured roughly a 1-1.5 CM difference with the same width rating, but different manufacturers.
thanks ryem3, you always have good info, how's everything...... there is a long island wine run on Sunday Nov 15 at 12, meeting point not established yet, do you think you will be interested?
