Dont' worry Sean. Still 20inches of snow here and -15C during nights. Would be interesting to test those tires now - or maybe not.

Even those drag radials are same 255mm, they look fatter than my current 255mm street tires. If any problems to get them fitted to the car may I remove that rubber part at the centre of second photo? I would not like to use any wheel spacers if there is need of just some millimeters.
