Is anyone running the 255? The Goodyear GS-D3 275/40/17 is sold out everywhere.
Do you think that the 255 will make that much of a difference?
TIA

I've got 275/40s too. They work good, but it's a noticeably bigger sidewall than the rears if you run the stock rear size. I don't mind it, but if that sort of thing bothers you, it does look a bit odd, and it will bother you.
