Default New MT ET Street R?

From a MT rep on yellowbullet:

Yes - going from the P275/60R15 ET Street Radial Pro to the P325/50R15 ET Street R, I would expect to see an improvement in traction.

Thanks,

Waiting to see more sizes in 16" preferably... With that thread design I don't think there is a need to go down to 15" wheel. I'm excited

It would be nice if they made a 16"....They have 3 sizes of 17s, yet no 16s in a normal street size.. WTF

If they would come out with a 295/50/16, it would save a LOT of people a LOT of money from doing the 15" conversions...

What do you guys think about 305/45-17 in that size? Think it will fit or too tall?
