Can I use 255 tires instead of 235?

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.

Can I use a slightly different size tire?

Once you choose a tire size for your vehicle, you’ll want to stick with that size when you buy replacements. The reason for this is that a differently sized tire can confuse your speedometer and even cause damage to your vehicle’s anti-lock braking systems and stability system calibrations.

What is a 245 tire equal to?

245: The width of the tire, from sidewall to sidewall, in millimeters. A 245 is 245 millimeters, or 24.5 centimeters, wide. The tread width is actually somewhat smaller than the tire’s actual width.

Can I use 245 instead 265?

You can replace your 245 tires with 265 tires, as long as the new tires are the same width and have the same load rating.

Can I replace 255 tires with 265?

More than likely, yes. BUT! Whether or not a 255mm tire will fit on your existing rims with 265mm tires depends on the wheel’s width. All tire sizes have a rim width mounting range of 1 to 2 inches.

How much taller is a 265 tire than a 255?

This is the size of the rim/wheel the tire is fitted to. 17inches. Since you only specified the first, I can only tell you that the 265 is 10mm wider than the 255.

Should I upgrade tire size?

In almost all cases it is recommended that you stick to the factory-size for your car or truck’s tires. This is because many components of the vehicle were specifically designed for that specific size of tire.

Does changing tire size affect performance?

If you choose bigger wheels, you will improve the stability of your car and the range of braking distance will be shortened; A larger diameter means that the wheel will be heavier and consequently speed will be slightly compromised during acceleration (depending also on the torque of the car);

Do bigger tires affect gas mileage?

The short answer: yes. Tires can make a big difference in the number of miles a driver gets to a tank of gas. In fact, 20% to 30% of a vehicle’s fuel consumption and 24% of road vehicle CO2 emissions are tire-related. Tires affect vehicle fuel efficiency primarily through rolling resistance.

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.

Do bigger wheels save gas?

For example, larger tires decrease your fuel economy because they are heavier, while smaller tires increase fuel efficiency. Bigger tires also have a higher rolling resistance than smaller tires which means they require more resistance and effort to get them rolling.

What size tire is best for gas mileage?

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.

Which tires get the best gas mileage?

Why do bigger tires burn more gas?

Wider tires create a larger contact patch, the area of the tire actually touching the road. While this is good for performance, it can create a higher resistance to coasting, meaning that the engine will have to use more power and fuel to maintain speed.
