geoff-r Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Instead of putting 285mm tyres on and putting on 275mm tyres would there be any issues, other than a slight stretch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Instead of putting 285mm tyres on and putting on 275mm tyres would there be any issues, other than a slight stretch? Why do this? Do you have some 275mm tyres hanging about then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 i know that the 275's on mine were a tight fit when the last owner had them done. Tyre fitter recommended a bit wider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff-r Posted February 10, 2010 Author Share Posted February 10, 2010 'summer tyres' - there is my point. I doubt I would consider the Bridgestones at all, even if the alloys come with them as standard. Fair enough if we lived in a country where it was sunny for more than a week, but in reality it isn't, and they're not very well suited to our roads, great in dry weather but terrible in wet weather. As for going for 275's as opposed to 285's. I can get a very good deal on the 275's but not the 285's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
