Hello,all!
Got a question relating to tires.Right now I have 17 by 8 Konigs on the car.The tires are 215/40-17's.
I know that pretty much everyone with 17 inch rims has 225-235's.Except affecting my speedo(which it does) is there anything else I should by worried about? Like long term problems of any kind.
Thank in advance

If you have 17x8 rims, you should definitely use 235 series tires. Why go with 215's? Your speedo will be off with those and your ABS may even be affected since the two sizes are pretty far off. I don't know about any long-term affects though....

 

Thanks

That's what I had figured out,except the ABS part.Will it screw them up?
As far as why I went with the smaller size,-I had them on my previous car,and they were practically brand new.

ur putting 8% more miles on ur car than u actually have... that aint good for resale value... if anything put on LARGER tire...

 

The ABS sensor relies on the overall diameter of the wheels. I don't know how much it would be thrown off, but it may have some effect
