On the left is a Bridgestone RE070 Type R tyre, on the left one of my new Kumho's that I've bought. They are both 215/40/17. The Kumho is wider, by about 20mm. The distance between the beads on the Kumho is 215, but tread is wider.
Just interesting, that's all.
Oh, why have I bought Kumho's and not fancy Bridgestone S03's? Easy, price. My tyres don't last a few days on the track, so I figure it's better to get cheap tyres and more practice, than it is to waste expensive tyres.
So four Kumho KU15, the most expensive Kumho that the shop had, came to £280.
