Very quick tire comparison
My friend got his new tires the other day and I saw something VERY interesting. Sometimes you hear about some tires being better / wider than others, but you rarely see an actual side by side comparison.
On the bottom, a Michelin 255 / 40 / 17, on the top, a Bridgestone Potenza in the same size.... Methinks I'll take the Michelin.

Think its good some tires are narrower given the same size
If you have a tight clearance issue it leaves options
