Something I see no mention of is additional tire weight.
I try to find tires that are the same or lighter weight than the oems.

 

Yeah, actually I did look into this. I tried looking up what my current rims weight, but I found no data. I would have to take then to a scale. (Lol, my vets office has a nice scale.) The rims I want are 19.2lbs. I still haven't decided what tires yet.

Anyone have any feedback for the speed rating handling yet? I am very curious about that.

 

You are partially correct with your theory. Keep in mind these speed ratings are graded at 8 hours countinous speeds. 8 hours straight! Some of the factors that make up this ability to acheive these feats are the tire's ability to dissipate heat. Heat is the number one enemy of a tire's character. Tire squirm generates friction, thus causing heat. The thicker the sidewall of a tire results in a tire's inability to dissipate said heat. The number of plies making up a tire generally allows for the tire to carry more weight, not go faster. Some of the built in factors that translate to speed ratings are nylon belt overlays that maintain a tires shape at higher speeds, thus reducing distortion and minimizing friction (heat). A tire is built with heat and will come apart from heat. You will rarely find car tire with a H or higher rating with sidewalls greater that 4 plies. Number of plies relate directly to thickness. True racing tires have very thin sidewalls.

 

try 225/50/16s. speedo will be around 1 to 2 mph faster than actual

 

Well the 225/50 /16 work with a stock setup

 

Is this a question or a statement ?

 

Question on stock setup

 

"Well the 225/50 /16 work with a stock setup"
I guess you meant "Will the 225/50/16 work with a stock setup ?

As stated to you in one of the other posts where you ask the same kind of question. Try one of the tire size calculators.
225/50/16 is a normal size type tire. Not like it's a wide tire that won't fit fine on a stock type rim. Should work ok.
Don't know what size you have now, so it's hard to say if the 225/50 will be taller or shorter than your present tires.

 

Yes I think he did.

I currently am running 205/60/R16 on mine. Hope this helps somehow.

 

Thanks George for help always count on the help here
