Probably due to the sidewall... 275/35 is like no sidewall.

My 275/40/17 kuhmo's hook a lot better than my stock tires did... but I also had 16" stock rims.

I had the 245s and they seemed to be just as good at the goodyear 245s . No better , no worse . BFG comps , not drags were crap compared to the goodyears or kuhmos .
