Tyre size's for 19's????

<< < (5/7) > >>

Hurdy:
The only reasons to run 225 section tyres on a 19" wheel would be for the stretch look (Not to my taste and ruins any handling characteristics) or if you have space issues in the arch (by running a different offset or spacers).

225 section tryes will reduce your rolling diameter, but not by enough to be noticeable. The tyres will probably be more expensive with the smaller 225 section as they aren't as common a fitment as the 235 section variant. :smiley:

I go for Goodyear Eagle F1 assymetrics everytime. Reasonable price, but superb grip and characteristics compared to other tyres.

The Michelins seem to wear out very quickly . :smiley:

i have to agree....maybe it's a driving style thing?

my last set of ps2's lasted much longer than most of the other brands i've had and i live amoungst some very twisty roads to wear them. someone in milton keynes and its roundabouts will wear a certain tyre differently than say someone from wellingborough surrounded by duals and motorways

alot of factors come into play
