QUOTE(6UE5T @ Dec 17 2015, 02:20 AM) Well what's your car in the first place, and what's the original tire size? Or is 215/45/R17 the original standard size for that car? im using preve, standard tyre size was 205/55 16. The shop recommend 215/45 when i upgrade to 17inch.Btw 225/45 is not just wider by 1 cm but also about 0.8 cm bigger in diameter coz the sidewall is about 0.4 cm thicker/taller too (215/45 = 9.7cm sidewall vs 225/45 = 10.1 cm sidewall). So your speed will be higher by 1.26% for the same engine rpm. Fuel consumption will be impacted as well but pretty negligible. You can use tire calculator/conversion such as this to compare: http://www.sizemytires.com/calculators/com...CFawB4godjEMAuw Thanks for the link really useful  |
