Another Tire Fitment Question
Another Tire Fitment Question
Researched a few threads - this is a slight variation on a common theme:
Champion RG5 Rims:
18x8.5 Front (0.5 wider than stock)
18x11.5 Rear (0.5 wider than stock)
Current Tires are stock size PS2s:
225x40x18 Front - Barely worn
295x30x18 Rear - Worn out (corded on inside rib)
I need new rears:
Looking at PS2 315x30x18 since the 295s were a bit "stretched" on the 11.5 rims.
Here is the Question - All specs based on Tire Rack tables for Michelin PS2s
225x40x18 spec out:
25.1" diam & 829 revs/mile (measured on 8" rim)
315x30x18 spec out:
25.5" diam & 817 revs/mile (measured on 11" rim)
My calculations say 817 is 98.5% of 829
Both actual rims are 0.5 over measured rim
Good Enough to avoid AWD related issues????
