karl922 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 As per the title, im thinking of getting some Vredestein sessanta for my rays, as they are much cheaper than a 45 profile so ill end up with a better tyre with the money ive got. Is there any problem with this and will it make the wheels look lost in the arches with a smaller profile? Cheers guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rothers2901 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 There will be no problem with the lower profile tyre except the ride may be slightly harsher and but the 10mm radial depth difference may be an issue with the arched.you could always lower the Z slightly.

M13KYF Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 you do run the risk of the traction control not working correctly on the rears. I think its a safter option to go with the correct size tyres IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbs Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Think the ESP may start playing up with those tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 you can run it, but you'll have to turn TC off. why not just fit the reccommended tyre size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 same question for the millionth time. i see a few of us suggest that there will be issues with the ESP. is it only me that didnt have any probs? i can safely say no probs at all. tried and tested with a few sets. ps2s, 050As and 888s. rays with and without spacers. slightly harsher ride yes, wheel arches showing a bit emptier yes, slightly sharper steering yes, cheaper defo yes.

ATTAK Z Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Fronts will be 3.41% out and rears will be 3.62% out, so little relative difference front to back and therefore there will be no problem with the traction control ........................ However when your speedo reads 70 mph you will only be doing 67.5 ............................ Also the diameter of the rear tyres will be some 24.5 mm less thus the car will be lowered by 12 mm (possible clearance problems on steep drives/speed humps) ........................ In addition the overall gearing of the car will be lower which will result in slightly better acceleration However it will look bad IMO so I would advise you stick to standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 the fact that the speedo already misreads by about 5mph already the speed will be even lower i believe indian ran his on those profile have a chat with him about TCS issues what Greekman said is right, not all cars suffer issues.
