point of skinny is to drop weight, bet the rotating mass between the two is minimal....look for a 205 or 215 tire

The 235/65 is a 1/8" higher then the 255/60
The 255/60 is a 1/4" wider then the 235/65

I know pictures dont do justice and beside its not the same light and angle, in real life the 235/65 looks more like a skinny race tire and the 255/60 looks like a normal daily tire

I think iŽll go with the 235/65 (picked them up at a friends local tire shop that why i can change and compare them, also tried a 275/60 but that looked stupid)

a 235/60 would be even smaller then the 235/65 i have here, wouldnt it be to small keeping in mind the rear tire is already bigger like this?

The 295 is just about a perfect fit.
