Re: Widest front tire?
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Bill:
What I meant that when you are working on the car, it is tempting to move it around with the front of the hood popped, rear down, rather than fully latching the hood (though maybe it's just me). With stock tires (at least on my 1996) if you keep the wheels straight (say pulling into a garage) you can do it without any tire to hood interference. With 285 tires, even pulling straight forward the larger tires will rub and damage the lower part of the hood clamshell.
Not a common occurrence, but something that'll ruin your day if it happens to you. Luke at TireRack warned me when I bought my 285's a couple of years ago. </FONT f>
