Interesting info from expedition west, I new the details of the longer tyre contact previously but the write up was interesting to read.

Sorry I should of have been more clear on my initial post about why I don't like the look of the 255 on my 100. I don't think it is necessarily that they are skinnier that I don't like them. I think what I really don't like is how far in from the edge of the fender they sit. With a different wheel that moved the tire farther out (wider track width) I think I would like it better.
I ran this exact tire size on my LR Disco 2 and loved it. But, the wheel wells on the 100 are so much bigger, they can handle a wider tire like the 295 without rubbing and consequently look better, in my opinion.
I'm not a big fan of big wide tires either. I don't want anything sticking out past the fenders or anything. I just like the wheel well to look full. Here's a pic that illustrates what I'm talking about
