The contact patch width on the 285 Vredestein tires measures almost 10" new (at 42psi), the worn out 285 Hankook measured 9.3" (at 38psi).
The Vreds have a MUCH wider contact patch. Worn down, these will be over 1" wider then the Hankooks.
The treadwear rating is 320. I stated 300 prior (website said 300).
Haven't mounted the front 255s yet.
I find the sidewall design unusual, small grooving at 3 different angles (chevrons, logos and background reflect at different angles). This gives the tires a silver look (would not want these on a black vehicle, look awesome on TiAg).
