Looks like most any other 245/45 from the side...but the sidewall does seem a little taller...which is awesome.

Just a quick pic before going out to test. On the scales at a lean, mean 20lbs. My wheels weigh 15.8 lbs and with one of these tires it weighed 35, so that means they can't be over 20.1 lbs for the tire.

Great pictures guys!!!!

It's great news that the tires fit on the stock shocks!

Now let's wait for the performance results. BTW what's the weight of the test car with driver?

all i can say is wow. the picture comparing the bfg's to the hoosiers definately shows the hoosiers being much wider. so far it's been nothing but good news! i'm anxious to hear the results!
