Tire size not available in Singapore, how?

[Shouyi]

Hi, wonder if any bros encounter this problem before. My stock tire size is 205/45 R18. I asked some prominent shops and come to the conclusion that this size is not available in Singapore. 

What are the options available when the time comes for replacement. I have no intention to change the rims.Thks.

Hi ,  your agent should have the tires for you, unless your car is PI. 215/45/R18 might be available, the size difference is only 1%

17x8.5j  5x112pcd rim also quite hard to find...

Use an online wheel size calculator to compare size to see what is closest to the original size.

http://www.wheelcalc.com/

The important dimension to note is the overall wheel diameter.

The alternative would be assuming you want to stay at 18" rims. Your original wheel diameter is 620.1mm

1) 215/40 R18   -1.5%(diff between this size and original, will be slightly smaller in diameter.)  Diameter 610.5mm

2) 215/45 R18   +1.9% (slightly bigger)   Diameter 632.2mm

FYI the differences are insignificant for you to feel any difference. Speedometer accuracy wise I also dont think there will be much of a diff. Anyway for your original after wear and tear the diameter will become smaller and smaller as you drive. Ppl will tend to take the slightly bigger diameter size.
