I saw a set of BF Goodrich's ( I beleive their G-Force series, but don't quote me on that) on 20" rims. They were 285/30/20 but the sidewall appeared much larger and beefier than my Yokohama AVS Sports in the same size, (our cars were parked side by side to compare). They may have a 295 or 305. ?

That's what I have. Haven't seen any wider tires unless you go to a much shorter sidewall.

does anyone think that someone will produce a taller side wall tire in the future like a 305/30/20" or am I just wishing on a star? I just thought that there would be more and more selections as the big tire craze keeps getting bigger.....any thoughts???
