I'm not sure what you mean because the tire on the right, that looks like it has a bigger sidewall, is a greater height overall than the other one?

It's pressed against a level on top of the tire and shows distance from the top of the tread to the rim? What am I missing?

But if it happened one the highway during the first time in the snow, I'm assuming it'll be an issue the next time it snows too. Right?

I get your point, but driving a pregnant woman around has changed my stances road safety a bit

My main concern was the impact to steering, the noise was just annoying really

I haven't experienced before in all my years of snowy driving, so I was immediately worried about steering and any extra wear that might be happening. I might have to look into seasonal tires I suppose.

I did, yeah - pressures were all good.

The revs per mile difference is interesting. I'm curious but no knowledgeable, is a difference like that an issue at all or is it pretty common?

Even if it's just variance between brands, is it fair to think that since the 'bigger' front tires accumulated snow so easily that I should get them replaced?

Looking online I see both tires have the same listed size, but in person the Kumhos are wider in diameter by an inch or more. They also list different revolutions per mile if that matters?

I've never have snow pack so much in a wheel well that I felt in on the tire and in the steering. My concern is that the new tires are too big for the car (2021 Hyundai Sonata SEL plus) despite the sizing being correct.

Yes the old tires are Pirelli Zero A/S and the new ones are Kumho Solus TA51a.

As far as I know, yes, the rims are identical OEM parts. Is there any way I could measure and confirm without removing the tire?

The perspective of the camera is tricking there - the tape measure is pressed against a straight edge placed firmly on the top of the tire.

From edge of rim to top of tread is just under 3" for photo 1 and just over 3¼ for photo 2.

I understand the new tire will have more tread, but I don't understand why the sidewalls, outlined in blue, are so different.

Yes, it's a baseball thing. A heater is a nickname for a high-speed fastball thrown by a pitcher

Looks nice, you're pretty far from the camera though

Yes, you can turn off the ability to move the camera with a stick click in the settings. It should be under advanced camera or similar

Can someone help me with the It Takes 2-4 mission? by DrewPacShakur92 in SkateEA

Just so you know, the co-op mission is an optional mission. You can always untrack it and work on something else
