Yea it looks awesome. It has a smaller sidewall so it wraps around more so it looks bigger. But its about 1/8 of an inch from the belt so thats why I say its the largest. Great traction too.

I believe you can get it in 210 55 17 and 210 50 17 but not much of a difference. What I was saying is its basically the same highth but the tire wraps around more giving it a wider look.
