lotusless Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 as ive got big bus tyres on my 16E i want to get some low profiles for it, they are only 5 + 1/2 j's as i'm not too clued up on tyres what is the widest size i can go up to on them? i want 55 profiles i think, someone else said to me go for a smaller size width on the front for a better drive. any advice also is there a set width for different rims? i would like to know about other sizes too ie 6's + 7's incase i find some cheap tyres or wheels for sale
Copey Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 if you go for a smaller size on the front it will cut down understeer, if you use 185/60 on the rear and 175/55 on the front that should do well i have 205/60 185/60 on the capper, in the dry its great, can be a bit tail happy in the wet though, but thats all part of the fun
Admin Vista Posted May 27, 2009 Admin Report Posted May 27, 2009 This is a really useful website that'll tell you all you need to know, it's quite a read but has some very useful size, width and comparator calculators http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible.html
jamesmk1 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 you can go 185/60/13 or 185/55/13 on a 5.5j wheel p.m me if you want some to try
