Re: just wondering

Re: just wondering
Just remember the bigger the rim the lower the profile the tire should be.

Re: just wondering
yes , each step up in rim size is a step down on profile other wise you have speedo and computer function problems. for example , if you have 185/70r14 upsized would be 185/65r15 ,185/60r16,185/55r17,185/50r18 ,185/45r19 , so using the 19 inch rim setup ill use an example - 18.5 cm wide =7.5 inch wide tires then 45 = % of profile (hieght of tire on rim) so 7.5inch divided by 45 % = hieght so 1.66 cm profile rubber , thats just tread , theres no balloon in the tire so it will make a bumpy rough ride. Im not a 100% sure if im right about this formula.
