Need to buy new tires found a great deal on some Dunlop derezza Z102's in a 205-50-15 size.
Is that too short of a tire? How high will it rev on te highway? |  |  | | 10-09-2014, 01:13 PM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Elizabeth City, NC Posts: 3,877 |
Stock size is 205/60-15 which is around 25in overall diameter. The 205/50-15 is 23.1 overall diameter. When the speedo says 60mph you'll be doing 55mph.
65mph in 5th gear will be at 3250rpm instead of 3000rpm on stock size. It'll work, might look a little funny unless you lower the car some more. __________________ ~Dave~
