They were all 275/35, but had a rather large difference in width across the brands.

Watch the video and you can see 5 or so sets stacked by the trailer. The Dunlop is by far the tallest stack, then Falken and down the line. BFG wasn't in the shot, but similar to the Dunlop. The Nitto is the smallest of the bunch and then it has those 2 massive tread voids around the middle of the tire. It's just that much less rubber it can put on the road and that is where the grip comes from. No tread, no chance.

One thing that I didn't expect to see as an issue was wheel hop. The Dunlop did the best at allowing you to use the brakes and it had the least amount wheel hop of them all. You would typically not hear anything about how well a tire controls wheel hop in any late model article. With our leaf spring cars, it's an important piece of the puzzle when making a selection.

There will be a lot more detail about the tires in the written article and online.
