Suprab1 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've a set of conti 255/45/17 for the rear of my car. I got them free but just wondering will it affect handling or cause any issues? At the minute i have 255/40/17 on the rear & i will be leaving the front at 235/45/17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the minute i have 255/40/17 on the rear & i will be leaving the front at 235/45/17. put them on the front and go wider at the back 275/40/17 or 295/35/17 if you can get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have 7mm on them so i might aswell give them ago. After they are worn i will go back to 255/40/17 but atleast i wll know if the conti's would be worth the pennys.

Suprab1 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) from my experiences i think you will find the bigger wall will offer you more grip if pressures correctly ect What pressure do you put in the rear?
