235/265 or 245/275 ... questions.

obLu · 11-02-2006, 11:02 AM

I see a lot of guys are running 245/275 instead of the closer OD 235/265? And I see a lot of people recommending one over the other. I can't find any info on why that is. Can somebody help?

Personally I'd like to run 245/275 because I want to cram as much rubber as possible. But the diameter is off by a fair bit.

Anybody who's running 245/275 any problems with speedo, acceleration, DSC, handling, etc?

How's the speedo and the acceleration with the bigger OD tire?

i run 235/275. this works for me (245 was too wide)... no rubbing at all - unless 3 in the back.there are many variables.

I run 245/275 and the speedo is more accurate than stock.
