The 285 is .5 taller and the same width anyhow. I don't know why they put tire sizes on the side wall if they aren't actualy that size. A 285 should be about 1" wider but per Hankooks specs they aren't. Same width just the 275 is best suited on a 8" wheel and the 285 an 8.5" wheel.

Is this a fact? If so I will switch to the 275 which would give me the height I need without losing contact patch?
