Quick Tyre Question

[jonesyFX]

I will be getting new tyres for the clio soon, and i'm wanting to know if there is much difference in speed if I got 45 profile rather than 50, as I don't want my speedo to be too far out! Wheels are standard F1's.

I have done a quick search but I'm at work at the moment

cheers for any info

it'll feel horrible on 45's (assuming you're on about 15's?)

stick to 50's

Why do you want to go for 45 over 50 anyway?

 

[jonesyFX]

Just for looks mate tbh, but 50s are a tenner cheaper a tyre so think i'll stick with 50s by what you guys are saying

 

[ABOO]

My c*** wouldn't look any different for the sake of 5mm mate, so won't even notice it on some F1's

As already said, stick to the 50's, mucho cheapness..

Got nothing to do with 5mm, it's percentage profile to it''ll be 5% of 185/195...so a smidge under 10mm; multiplied by 2 for the overall diameter..so a 19mm difference overall.

Yep, i'll stay quiet again now.
