Man those 315's are ****ing MASSIVE. I knew they would be big but DAMN.

I brought them to work to put them in the warehouse cause the tire place is right next door and I didnt want to have to make 2 trips to get my rims and tires there. And I brough them in and showed them to my buddy and my boss and they were both like "HOLY **** THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE"

I cant wait to get them on.

Sweet man ... can't wait to see 'em on there.


Hey, could you possibly measure those tires? In inches? I'd like to see how wide they are compared to other 315's. With the way $$$ is ... I may have to get those when the F1's wear out.

Not the best pic, but here you go!
The Summitomo's look smaller because the sides are more rounded than the F1's.
