I would like to see them too. The stock width is just too narrow for my taste. I actually have that size on my snow rim setup. I would like to see on OEM rims.
Compared to the OEM Duelers, I can definitely say it's noticeably quieter, and a tad more comfortable ride. Could be due to flat spotting. Not entirely sure since I traded in my Duelers with less than 100mi on them.
I don't think there's much difference between a Parada 245/50R-20 and Parada 255/50R-20 except maybe a little more sidewall for comfort. I have not had the chance to test these in the rain yet.

But it does protrude out further than the wheel itself which I've been told is the rim or wheel protector.
My Honda Accord with Bridgestone Turanzas seem to flat spot easily and will last for quite awhile especially if it's been sitting and the weather is cold.
With my limited experience with the OEM Duelers, I can say that the Paradas seem to be quieter and smoother. My wife who is not even remotely interested in auto details even said that.

I believe that danz75 has the 255/50R20. CX9-SportOwner has 245/60R18.
Brand(width) Diameter Revs/Mile
OE Bridgestone Dueler(20") 29.8" 699
OE Bridgestone Dueler(18") 29.7" 701
Yoko Parada Spec-X(245) 29.8" 698
Yoko Parada Spec-X(255) 30.1" 690
In short, it(the Yoko 255) is off by <1.5%. I wouldn't worry about it.
A typical BMW speedometer is off by more than 5% (<8% is considered as "normal" by BMW).
Next time you sit in a sports car, the speedometer could be lying to you....
I checked with local radar warning display to confirm that also.
The speedometer on CX9 is very accurate, on the contrary.

I agree with Ceric. I wasn't too concerned about the accuracy of the speedometer because to me, the difference is negligeble. How accurate are speedometers in cars anyway? Likewise, the gagues in my car only provide an indication of the data. If I wanted something more accurate, I would get a scangauge or some other sophisicated tool.
In anycase, i'm only driving the car, not making beer.

I had flatspotting on one of my cars in the past after I was rear-ended. You could tell at speed. It is similar to certain tires that have pronounced steel belt overlapping. After the accident, it was really annoying until I got the tire changed. In the case of the belt overlapping, I couldn't do anything about it other than change out the tires with a different model.
