zebedee! Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've brought a set of secondhand wheels and these tyres came on them the sizes are not what i'm looking for so i'm putting them up for sale and as i don't really know what they are worth i'm looking for offers. All 4 are Toyo Proxes T1-S All have approx 6mm of tread The fronts are 235/35/19 and do have a bit more wear on the inside edge The rears are 275/30/19 To give some idea The new t1-R's are: £193 each new for the rear £141 each new for the fronts Prices taken from TOYOTYRES.CO.UK - BUY TOYO T1-R, T1-S, CF1, R888, R1R, PROXES S/T AND OTHER TOYO TYRES ONLINE - DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR! Please send offers via p.m. Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Was just about to send u pm as I have recently bought T1S's in 19"s & wouldnt mind spares, but unfortunately sizes are wrong for me!! Im running fronts 245/40/19 rears 275/35/19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 40'S UP FRONT ? how come rickya ? just to balance the rears looking fat ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 After doing a lot of research & calculating rolling radius differences etc it seemed all would be fine in going 245/40 upfront & not 245/35 as usually done with 19"s. And in fact has been i.e. no excessive TCS light comming on & speedo is more accurate now & not approx 4 mph over reading but 1mph (as teste dwith GPS speedo). Advantages of higher 40 profile instead of 35 IMO is better ride comfort especially as heavy engine if right above & better sidewall flex on harder corners. Ideal size up front would have been 235/40/19 & not 245/40/19, but difficult to get in that size & a lot more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Let me know your current stock wheel / tyre sizes (I cant remember!) & what size of alloys you want to change to & I l work out different tyre size options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 antera 343 19" currently running p-zero's 245/35/19 - 285/35/19 not sure of the wheels sizes though, they were on the car when i bought it recently had two rears - need new front tyres now, i have been offered falkens, toyo tr1's (weird the 245 toyos were cheaper than 235 ? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 With your current setup, the front to rear diff of rolling radius is +4.28% The standard front to rear diff is +2.63% So you'v currently increased front to rear rolling radius diff from stock by 1.65% With 245/40/19 up front & 285/35/19 at back, front to rear rolling radius diff is +0.52% So you'v decresed the front to back rolling radius diff from stock by 2.11% With the new setup (245/40/19) you'l not really change the front to back diff of tyres sizes much, only by 2.11%, whereas currently your diff is 2.63% from stock The only issue which may cause a problem with TCS (But has not with me at all) is when you look at change in front wheel rolling radius on its own as compared to stock front wheel rolling radius: By going from stock 225/45/18 to 245/40/19 you are increasing rolling radius on front only by +2.86% . This I thought may play a part in causing TCS to kick off unnecesarily but I took a risk & it has not at all changed the character of TCS. Thats why I think on paper 235/45/19 could have been better as diff would only have been +1.65% Overall IMO you will be fine on 245/40/19 up front as I have for the last 8 months or so Sorry to take this topic slightly off course !
