tire size

Hi guys
Now i dont want to start an argument but i have to ask this
Ive just bought a set of 18" hurracanes but with no tires
Whats the best tire size to go on a p38 im wanting to take into accout ride quality and cost
I dont realy go offroad much other than a muddy lane or grass banking + the 16" im taking off are gona get some serrious off road tires for when i want to get muddy

335/65-18's

Don't talk bloody daft Daft. 255/55/18 are standard fit. 335/65/18s will put his speed 6.3 MPH over the top at 30 indicated and 12.6 MPH over at 70 indicated. Just a tad illegal.

:whoosh:! :doh:

with Wammers on this.

yu are talking ****e.

Did you check if it was a legitimate size?
Do you honestly think a 335 tyre will fit on a standard rim?


ok then - how about 100/240-18's :doh:

Yes it would, it may look like a balloon but it will fit. And yes 335/65/18 is a legitimate tyre size.

How would the ride/steering be affected?

Quite dramatically considering that you would maybe not get them inside the wheel arch to start with.

Just get some 255/55/18's if its cost and ride quality. The standard size. Got them on mine and dealt with everything in the winter.

What pressures would you put in these tyres? I have them on mine.....thanks...

enough to get rid of the flat spot on the bottom of them

I'm looking to buy new wheels and rubber soon, so if someone could complete this with the correct tyre sizes I think a few members would say thanks

Visual Tyre Size Calculator | Kouki Tech Do it yourself you need the same rolling radius as the 255/16s

Im running 255/55/19 it what was on it when I bought it but when I change im going to go for 255/50/19

Love the "flat bit" comment. But thanks for the info.

16" wheels give the best ride

I had 16s but went up to 18s really fill the wheel arches nicely. My 16s made it look like a beach buggy!
