Default Compare 275/55 vs. 285/50-20 pics

Allot of people debate between these two sizes because they are very close so here are some pics of them side by side for those that may be interested. The 285 ends up only being about .4" shorter but has about .8" more width to it. The 285 also has a little more bubble to the side wall, all in all my vote is the 285/50

Good info. I've decided on the 285/50's when mine are worn out, which is pretty soon.

The 275/45 is about 1.5" shorter than the 285/50
