Tire size differences.. my R888s are wider
Yep.. my 275/35/18 R888s are wider than my 275/35/18 RA1s.. lol
You would think a 275 tire is a 275 tire..
The website says the R888 is 11" wide and the RA1 is 10.9" wide. Thats a diff of .1 or 1/10 of an inch.
Caution, big file

As you can see it's more like .5 inches wider. It may not sound like much but I just when through the hassle of having my front wheels sucked in .5 inches and now that eats up half of that. It also gives the tire a pronounced "pinched in" look compared to the RA1. If I had know I would have had the wheel made .5 wider to the inside.
Oh well, I'm going to switch to a 255/35/18. It should only be .5 less wide than the old 275 RA1
Just wanted to toss out to people that not all sizes are created equal. Love the tires though, they are SOOOOO sticky..
