Shawn's (Colin's) '04 OB/tan, 6MT Sedan (KM06730)

[ELCID86]

Colin had a bad tire (drove on it with very low psi) and had to order new ones. He went with two rears --DWS 06 in 245/35/18.

Nice. What is on the front ?

I did that before, they call it the ring of death lol. How much did the 2 rears cost out of curiosity. I went 255/35/18, why did he go 245?

He's still running the normal size up front (225?).
Went with 245 b/c we didn't think he needed that much meat in the rear and they were quite a bit cheaper ($167/ea).

No idea, I was just curious.

You can plug the sizing into here https://tiresize.com/comparison/

Basically the tire sizes are pretty identical. But there is a slight difference between the 255 vs 245 width.

Personally I would have stuck with the factory sizing even if the zhp does not need a 255 section width in the rear. It is just the sidewall is going to be smaller on the 245/35/18 and a slight speed difference.

Thanks team. Bruce and Dane both confirmed this also.
