EDIT: But if i were you, i wouldnt talk shit to the shaved ape who was strong enough to fold tires in half like that. You might not come back with a jaw.

Shaved apes aren't nearly as dangerous without kneecaps. "Ol' Sam Colt makes everyone just about the same size."

And they better make this deal right or there's a set of M/T's going on that sucker.

I ordered the 275/45/18 back when they first came out but they came normally. Now this is before they "revised" the size of the 275/45/18 by nearly an inch in width, so maybe they do this now? I just wonder what the chances are that they shipper did this somehow?

This set of 275's I got were also an inch wider than the last 2 pairs I had. They're most likely saving a few bucks on the shipping.

My last set came like that, popped 'em out and they're fine.

+1, my 15s came like that. The sidewalls are really soft/flexable. Took no effort at all to pop them out.

that is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen when it comes to tires. However it certainly seems to be ok from all the comments.

It is perfectly ok......Like stated before....the tires are soft....sit them outside in the sun unfolded for a bit, and they will be fine and go back to normal shape....

You guys would freak if you saw how we get our dirt track tires......

A 15" wide Hoosier comes to us folded in on both sides.....lol

I popped them out, and them are fine it appears.

Just wigged me out when I saw them. Never would have thought they would come that way.

Speaking of Mickey...

I didn't have a chance to get the DRs mounted before SD picked the car up last night. He is going to have them mounted at the track, by the Mickey T guys...hahaha

Actually, this is the first time he has actually borrowed it. The other times didnt pan out. lol

He better do good though. I spent HOURS getting that car spotless and shining like a new penny. Just in case someone wants to take some pics of it. lol

My 325 17's I ran last year were delivered like that. When I got them the weather was cold and the rubber wasn't easily moved. I had to bring them into the house to warm up for a few hours.
