OK so as some of you know, im getting a good deal on some Toyo tires. But the only problem is the closest tire sizing that i can get from them is a 255/40/17 for the front and a 275/40/17 for the rear. Keep in mind i have a '95 Cobra R wheel, 17x9" front and 17x10.5" rear.
Now the middle number of the tire sizing is the size of the side wall in percentage relation to the tread width. And i know you want to keep the overall sizing as close to possible.
IE: my current set up is 245/45/17 (front) and 275/40/17 rear.
That is 245 x 45% = 110.2 and 275 x 40% = 110. So as you can see they are equal.
Now getting back to the Toyo tires...they figure out to:
255 x 40% = 102
275 x 40% = 110
As you can see these are not as dead-on as the other tires i currently have now. So i am wondering if this is going to be a problem if i get these tires, and WHAT exactly will this miss-matched sizing do? Will i have any problems? Bad treadwear? incorrect speedo?
I'm getting a GREAT deal on these toyo tires, and ALL 4 of my current tires are BALD, completely dead. So i would like to know if its ok for me to get these, or if i have to pass up this great deal
