Yip, Vince over here had different sized tyres (on the same rims) on his GTR and his torque gauge was something like 50% all the time. It would eventually cause premature wear on the clutch packs, I think Vinces also accelerated funny until he got 4 identical tyres fitted.

Hows the AC3? Not been on my Konas for weeks!

Don't

Because of the slightly different rolling diameters , the ATTESSA will be for ever thinking the car is wheelspinning and keep trying to feed the power around to stop it.

Will kill the the transfer case clutch packs as Graeme said.

cheers

If you fitted the same size tyre to those rims you would end up with a different rolling radius due to the tyre being "stretched" on the wider rim.

Without measuring them after they are fitted the same would apply for different size tyres on those rims. Even then, who knows? Unless someone has done this already and has proof I'd go same size front and rear.

  • 4 weeks later...

could different widths cause a problem via aspect ratio??

eg 225/50/16

radius= (16/2)*2.54+(225*0.5)=315.7mm

rolling circumference = 2*3.1415*315.7

=1982mm

245/50/16

radius= (16/2)*2.54+(245*0.5)=325.7

rolling circumference = 2*3.1415*325.7

=2045mm

% difference =(2045-1982)/2045*100

=3%

Is this why datsuns have the same size tires front to rear. Volkswagons on the other hand 993 911 turbos have mixed aspect ratio tires due to their different tire widths. 40 series front and 35 rear but dont quote me

thoughts ??????

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
