Does it really make a big difference in how wide they look? How much PSI shoudl I be running on the street? Would it make a noticeable appearence in looks if I was running a bit low and pumped them up?

What PSI should I be running in my current tires? Maybe thats why they look like theyve thinned out?

lol, well I would be swapping them out for new ones through discount tire in order to get the special deal.

315's are too expensive and chubby for me, yet my 295's have really dissapointed me (looks wise)...i'm hoping my 32psi is low and that if I pump them up a few psi it will make a big diff.

Hmm...thats a 4psi difference...that seems big enough so that it would make a difference in the fatness of the tire.

Pressure shouldn't make any difference in how wide the tire is.

315 Nitto DRs will hook hard look good and dont wear that fast. And seriously they are great in the rain. I really have to try to break them loose.

Care to give me a link to 315 18" Nitto DRs ? Can't find that size on their website. Closest I found is 305/35 which is 26.4" tall compared to the stock 25.7" Is that difference big enough to be noticeable and mess up the traction control ?

I'm really looking for some wider tires ! 275 on a 10.5" rim looks dumb
