Anyone use 18\45\225

Postby momo10000 » Mon Apr 18, 2011 11:22 am

Hi all,

I am really disappointed from using 18\40\225 in Egypt

every month i have to get a new tire.... road are mountainous in Egypt.

I am thinking now to change the size of profile to 45 ------- 18\45\225

I am afraid that profile 45 is bigger ..... the wheels could touch the arches.

Has anyone before used this profile ....

any advises...

cheers

There won't be any problems with catching but the speedo will desplay the wrong speed...

They should offer you a more comfortable ride tho :-)

They should be fine, you just have to be aware that your speedo
Reading will not be right.
I have 225/40R18 on and they are fine for me and the roads here are terrible! Maybe it was your tyre brand thats no good, not the size, my tyres are nankang.
