Dropping to 235/19 front

[Daryl]

Any one had any experience with running a 235/19 on the front wheels?

Currently got 245, which i know is best, but been offered a pair of 235's for a good price. There is already abit of a stretch on the tyres as it is, and worried about it looking silly, and affecting the handling.

What width are the front wheels?

 

I believe Neilp had/ has 235/35/19 front tyres.

[Daryl]

Really dont know to be honest

I've 9.5" rims with 245's on, I think 235's would be fine. I'd check the rolling radius' against the rears though if they're 275's

[Daryl]

They are 35 profile, same as the rears

[Neilp]

235's are fine although may feel a little, and I mean a little, understeery when pushing on very hard. Apart from that you'll barely notice. By running the smaller rolling radius up front it allows the back to spin a little more before the tcs intrudes. I liked using this size of tire very much.

Cheers for the info Neil. Hopefully its only a stop gap for a few months anyway.

How quickly do you go through front tyres....

 

Do you love J turns or something

I'm running 235 on a 9.5" rim on the front with no problems

I think I have the record for ps2's. destroyed a set in 3000miles on front and rear

Well I the 235's had been sold, but managed to find one 245, so that wil match the one good one on the front.
