Can I put 245 instead 225?

Can I put a different size tire on my rim?

Tires are a part of the wheel setup. For instance, your vehicle has a set size of rims, but you can buy different sizes of tires to fit those rims, as long as the middle of the tires is the correct size. That being said, a vehicle with bigger rims will often be able to fit larger tires than other vehicles.

Is it OK to have 2 different size tires?

Having two different-sized tires on the same axle is generally not a good thing. If the diameter of the two tires is close, then the rolling radius is about the same, so in the short term, you probably won’t have any damage, but long term, you run the risk of messing up your car’s differential.

How wide of a rim do I need for a 235 tire?

What is the difference between 225 and 235 tire size?

The primary distinction between the 225 and 235 tires is the width, where the 225 tires measure 225mm while the 235 tires measure 235mm. Regarding usage, the 225 tires are suitable for small automobiles and other light cars, while 235 tires are ideal for large automobiles and other heavy vehicles.

Can you replace 225 65r17 with 235 65r17?

Yes you could but it would reduce the overall diameter of the wheel and tyre, so the height would be slightly less, as would the tread width.

Can I use 235 tires instead of 255?

In a word, NO. The vehicle was designed for the 255 width tire, and you will lose serious amounts of highway traction with a tire that is 20 mm narrower.

Is 245 wider than 255?

While the exact dimensions of a 245 or a 255 tire can vary somewhat between tire manufacturers, for any specific manufacturer a 255 tire will have a wider section width (bulge or tread width) than a 245 tire, the difference being 10 mm.

What tire size can I substitute?

As a general rule, you want replacement tires that are within 3 percent of the diameter (height) measurement of your existing tires’ diameter — assuming your current tires are what your owner’s manual recommends.

Do tire sizes need to be exact?

Width and diameter are the two factors that determine tire and rim compatibility. For diameter you’ll need to be sure that your tires and wheels are an exact match, e.g. a 215/65R17 tire will only fit on a 17″ diameter wheel. There’s a bit more flexibility when it comes to wheel widths.

How do you tell if bigger tires will fit?

You can find the information on the biggest tires to fit on your truck in the owner’s manual. There, the vehicle manufacturer suggests the most suitable sizes of tires (both bigger and smaller) for the car.

Can wrong size tires damage car?

Unfortunately, altering the tire size of a vehicle without thorough and careful consideration is a decision that can really bite. Fitting the wrong tire size can cause damage to a vehicle, and is a real safety hazard as well.

Do bigger tires give a smoother ride?

As a general rule, bigger wheels result in a rougher ride. Switching to a smaller wheel and a thicker tire can give you a smoother ride without any major modifications to your car. However, if you go too crazy and change your wheel size too much, it can cause some problems.

How much mpg will I lose with bigger tires?

With today’s new tires, there is virtually no difference in mpg due to tire size. As with many questions related to cars and tires, the answer to this question can have nuances, conditions, and variations.

Do larger tires increase gas mileage?

However, for freeway driving at high speeds, having larger tires can help increase the vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Is this because while it is easier to get a smaller wheel and tire moving than a larger one, once moving, the engine works harder to make the smaller wheel cover the same distance as a larger one.
