I see he had the tire size as "35".
I think he was referring to a "stock tire height" appearance.

Do you have 325/35 or 325/30 tires? I'm guessing the latter.thats a big difference. You said it wrong In the first place, since 325/35 r888rs don't exist.

Have you ever tried the Bridgestone RE71R’s? I have read comparisons and it seems the stones grip as good but not as noisy for street.
