Jhoo Neutral Newbie February 5, 2005 Share February 5, 2005 (edited) Hi tha Things about tyres that may affect your FC: 1) The total weight of wheel (combine weight of the tyre and rim) 2) The width of tyre (195 till 245!) 3) Compound of tyre (diff material = diff resistance) 4) Thread pattern (sports or economy) Item 1 and 2 is more significant, my guess. In other words, huge lighter wheels is better than heavy small wheels anytime! Edited February 5, 2005 by Jhoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan22 Neutral Newbie February 5, 2005 Share February 5, 2005 nah unless the overall size of the rim + tire is bigger than the original size den it will affect the consumption.. try getting bigger rims with low profile tyres should be somewhere the same correct me if im wrong...

Jhoo Neutral Newbie February 5, 2005 Share February 5, 2005 Yup, of all things, your rolling diameter must maintain, refer to the resource folder for the calculation. Good luck in yr upgrading . If yr havin a 318 , my view is 18"s will look great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
