Some wide angle but not fish eye for sure. But you are right if you look at front vs front of the two tires. However if you focus at the area were the two tires meet distortion is insignificant (front of F8X tire vs rear of the G8X tire) and there is still a very big difference.

I have 255s so for me all this extra contact area will be valid
