Tire question

06RedfireGT · January 19th, 2008, 05:45 PM

How much longer will tires last with the same size in all four corners as opposed to a staggered width?

My stock Pirellis are practically to the wear bars and I want to get as much life as I can out of the new ones.

bump.

Picking tires is so hard because I don't want any of the ones they have in the size 235/55-17 but the ones I want don't even have sizes that are close.

Thanks doc but I need 4 tires.

And the diameter of those is 24 inches where the stockers is 27.

I dont thing offset tires will wear any worse than normal, maybe a little at most. I know mine aren't wearing out any

Nitto 555s are about the best tire for the money IMO.

And because of no tire rotations, i would say cutting the life in about a third.
