tony.r123 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi i've just had a set of rays refurbed to fit to my Zed, i need to get a set of tyres for them as i want to keep the standard wheels for winter. I was wondering if fitting wider tyres of a lower profile is a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 usual is 245/45/18 some fit 245/40/18 as there is more options and cheaper, but some have experienced TCS issues but some haven't, seems to dpend on the car and the tyre chosen. as for wider and lower, use a tyre calculator and see how close you can get, personally i'd stick with what nissan specified.

sjcdeans Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I run 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 on my summer tyres (off my BMW) car sits lower so speed bumps are a problem if they catch u out. My winter set are 235/50/18 all round, my zed looks a bit 4x4 ish. (got 4x Bridge stone blizaks for 100 quid with less than 50 miles, so couldn't resist trying them for the winter) I have no problem with tc (I have a 53 UK gt, if it helps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 oops forgot the fronts were 225/45/18 but again others sometimes use 225/40/18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 oops forgot the fronts were 225/45/18 but again others sometimes use 225/40/18 When you say others I think he means me running 40 on front on back reduces weight, gets rid of the balloon tyre look, better turn in, less sidewall distortion, better range of tyres and cheaper tyres.
