Theyre not the same though.

The Big fat Contis were 35 profile instead of 35.

Contis SC3's are fat (comparatively speaking) to many other brands which exacerbates the problem.

To illustrate, I took a picture of my SC3 255/35 18 next to the original Bridgestone RE050A 255/35 and guess what. The Conti is a physically much bigger tyre all round.

Fills the arches out nicely though...
