Gee 1st Gear July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 Just upgraded from 215/60/16 to 225/50/17.. Old sets is running on Michelin Vivacy.. New sets is on Good Year Efficient Grip.. New sets read 98W and treadwear is 340.. Can any bro explain to me Pls??? Tyre is make in Germany.. 98W refer to load & speed, W max being close to 170mph, 98 refer to load, bigger better. 340 is treadwear, bigger number means last longer. Also got other ratings, here read it. http://www.cars.com/go/advice/Story.jsp?se...story=tires-101 Nice rims btw! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shull Turbocharged July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 (edited) What is your ride first? Camry? 2.0 or 2.4? Read http://ejelta.com/tiresize/index.html?ws17...&maxdelta=2 Based on your original size of 215/60/R16, the best matched 17" should be 235/50/17.. 225/50/17 is 1.14% smaller than your stock size, which also cause the space between the top of the tire to fender to look very big, and thus rather ugly IMO.. I made the same mistake on my last tire.. went for 215/45/17 and it looked horrendous, now i'm on 225/45/17 and it looked much better..

Aaron_soh80 1st Gear July 19, 2012 Share July 19, 2012 What is coil over bro? Than my original spring n absorber still stay is it? It is so call adjustable suspension which can adjust the height & damper( hard /soft).. To make ur car low & sporty..corner aso stable..alternative u can juz change spring.. but ur stock absorber dun know can tahan for long or not..

Should be 50 or 55 that make the different rite? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
