V8 Tire/Wheel Size
Need some help here. Going to make the switch to 16" sooner than I thought.
I think that I will wind up with MIM Speedlines 16"x7.5 35mm Offset.
Should I use a 225/50/16 or can I use a 225/55/16?
I notice that different tire mfg's have different rolling radiuses for
different models. In the latest European Car, they had a Michelin Chart
for the MXX Series, and I found it fascinating the different dimensions
given for the different series by same mfg.
SO! Maybe a 225/55 in one mfg may be the same diameter as a 225/50 by
another (I think).
Any opinions?????
I have been using XGTV4's, thinking about Dunlop, maybe SP2000's or 4000's.
Latest Automotor und sport rate SP2000's and Continental Eco??? highest
with Pirelli 6000's 3rd place tie with Michelin MXV3 (believe it or not).
Open for all comments!
On a second note, I want to thank Paul Timmerman for his rounding up us
Qguys and gals out here for a good Club meeting last week! KUDOS!!!
I look forward to the So.Cal Chapter growing and doing some nice events.
