Guys - see if you can answer this
My every day tyres Cooper ATR3 are 245/70/17, giving me actually 200 mm of surface tread that touches the tar
My new (yipee, don't tell the wife) are 265/70/17 and they also give just 200 mm of surface tread that touches the tar but are 265 at the side wall. What's with mud tyres having less surface?
Is that normal? If I had known I'd go to 285 wide...
