I typo'd about my tires they are 235/75/15 (not 70). The maxxis tires have a about 13/16 " white while the Hankook is about 11/16" which is closer to the factory size white on big cars in 69 of 1/2 to 5/8". The Hankook is a Optimo H724. As I mentioned they are narrower in tread relative to better grade tires of the same size but I like the thinner white and I just checked, they are $80 each at walmart online with free shipping. Hard to beat that value. The Maxxis are more than double.

These two cars have the Hankooks, one drawback is that the whites are a bit yellow grey even when new, typical side effect of a tire being cheap. The Maxxis tires are gleaming white.
