That is what I was told by Michelin for the 296/35/18 size never know might be sooner. They are made in France do I need to say more. Lol only 1/2 inch less wide

I know I saw a picture of someone's C5Z that had 285's on all 4 corners (OEM 18" rear rims)... If you can find that pic it should give you an idea of what it'll look like.

It's not how BIG your tires are, but how much they STICK! I run relatively tiny SLICKS on track, but they have twice the stick of the biggest street tires. The Michelin PSS is an excellent tire which has way more stick than whatever the next best STREET tire has.
