Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have an opportunity to purchase some R compound tires but I can only get 4 225's. Any issues with 225's all around? This would be primarily for autox.

POST 2Original post

Not worth the trouble... 245's all around yes.. 225s in the rear are "too small" imho.

POST 3Original post

Pluses: 1 light weight. Lower cost. 2 you can rotate front/rear for longer life. 3 if they are low profile your effective gear ratio will be lower and your car will also have a lower CG. Minuses: 1 Smaller contact patch, less maximum available dry traction. 2 Car will tend to oversteer. (can be dialed out with adjustable sway bars) If you often Auto-X in the rain (Seattle) this might be the setup for you providing these are good wet traction tires. You didn't mention brand or size. On dry days you are going to give up a little to the guys with more rubber on the road. Let us know what you decide.

POST 4Original post

need more info...ie rim sizes...tire size...etc What size(s) are you using now?

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I passed on the deal. I could have gotten a great price by getting all tires the same size but it doesn't sound like its really worth it. Thanks.
