QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 1 2013, 05:01 PM) The letter before the R indicates the rated max speed the tire can handle, Z being the highest (>300kph). Okay...now i know what it means. Thanks!!  QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 1 2013, 05:01 PM) 225/45 will be 1 cm wider and about 1 cm bigger diameter too (or your car will be 0.5cm higher ride height). Provided you use the same tire, it should give you slightly better grip and comfort, just a tad higher speed for the same rpm, at the expense of just a tad more fuel consumption. So basically i can use 225 issit? but will it fit into my rim? since its 10mm wider than current tyre..... |
