Tyres are like clothing, the physical size of the tyre varies by brand with the same nominal size.
Thanks Bear. But I'll probably just go back to the stock Option 52 skinnys it came with. Don't like the idea of using a hammer on the coupes lips.

I'm quite annoyed that Challenger made such a pointless offset in the first place. But they're out of business now so...
