Tyres

Would 235/45r17 94h be ok for my car its a evo 260.

No not if your using standard evo alloys as they are not wide enough, they will fit but side walls are rounded due to the wider tyres fitting on that size of alloy. You are better with a 225/40 17 or 225/45 17.

There not standard mate, I was just thinking of speed rating etc if I would be safe basically lol.

Tyre Speed Rating Guide

What's the width of the wheels on your car?

 

[Phil74]

There not standard mate, I was just thinking of speed rating etc if I would be safe basically lol.

H speed rating is only for 130 mph
V speed rating is only for 140 mph
Z speed rating is only for 150+ mph

Why didnt you ask about the speed rating?

I always try to use Z rated tyres for peace of mind.

 

[midd]

M not sure about the width mate and I never go over 130 but they were only 50quid for 2 so I was saving over 100quidbut I have z ones on me back wheels

Your best bet would be to spend more on some quality rubber ;-) more so as these are the fronts

Don't matter how fast you want to go the grip levels won't be there on tyres at that value.. stick with 225's if they are on the car.. in the long rub better tyres will save you more.

After all that's what keeps you on the road lol...

Camskills are very good for tyres but the delivery is a killer and then paying for fitting them. You take a look on ebay or mlr?

Standard Evo 7 onwards are 235/45/17

Don't scrimp on tyres, evos are high performance cars so require high performance tyres. It's what keeps you on the road rather than in a ditch

I've been on the phone and I'm getting them changed to z speed thanks lads glad I asked.

 

[midd]
