I need new tires, and I was thinking about getting the Michelin A/S 3. I currently have the Continental DWS, and with my steering wheel turned completely, the tires have about a .25 inch clearance from rubbing against the wheel well liner.
I'm reading from other forums that the Michelins run wide, and the Continentals run narrow. Looking up the specs from the manufacture, the overall diameter and overall section width for both are identical - does this mean that the Michelins should fit? I've also heard that manufacture measurements are rounded to the nearest half inch (is this true?) I'm concerned about throwing down $1,000 and having it rub once mounted.
When they say a tire runs wide or narrow, what exactly are they referring to specifically? The tread width? Overall section width (sidewall to sidewall)? Any opinions much appreciated.
