Tyre Sizes?

[toddr33]

I've got:

Front: 235/45 17"

Rear: 225/45 17"

Is it OK to put 235's on the rear too? Car is R33 GTS-T

I ask because I want to be able to rotate the tyres etc... =]

Thanks guys

if i was you i would be leaving the 235's on the rear and having the 225's on the front.

[toddr33]

yeah but im fkn poor so that would mean if i do that i can't rotate the tyres

does it really matter? what are the repercussions of doing this (having 235's all round)

nothing. a lot of people will be running 235's all round

Your car is RWD, you should be running wider tyres on the rear to give a bit more traction / grip.

As mad082 has said, there is nothing wrong with running 235's all round.

If I were your I'd run

Front: 235 / 45 / 17"

Rear: 235 / 45 / 17"

Then you can rotate when ever you want, every 6 months, whatever...

235 all round

buy new ones for the front and rotate the fronts to the back every time

hmmm i had yokohama's once. They lasted about 10,000kms and were completely bald. Less than 6 months. Never again. I like good traction but not that much. Maybe they have some that last longer but I've always heard of yoko's being really soft.

If your Yokohama's lasted you about 10,000kms and were really soft, then that would explain it.

Well it should last your more then 10,000kms, but I assume your tyres where on the way out, at the time.

Soft tyres are best for grip but have bugger all lasting time.

Hard tyres will last longer but for them to grip, they will need to warmed up, but soft tyres will still be better for grip.

Did you track your Yokohama's?

Or were they already on the car and running low on tread..?

Decent performance tyres for street cars should last about 2 years avg.

I had Yokohama ADVAN's, nice tyres but were getting low on tread then I went Kumho ECSTA's.

my kumho ku36 are about 6 months old with minimal camber wear. i find that toe is your biggest killer
