An innocent question about tires' sizes.......... Posted by Serge [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: I wouldn't do it..., Bob Davis, Sun, 4 Nov 2001 19:17:44 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Since Saab recommends 195/65-R15 for my 92' 9k Cde, what should other sizes bring to me ?
Lower gas consommation ? Better grip on different kinds of roads ?
I must admit that I know nothin' about that and I am wondering what those extra wide tires that I daily see on BMW's and Mercedes
bring to those cars.
I had Pirelli P-6000 before , and now, I have GoodYear Eagle-pct 5..... 195/60-R15. I must say that I burn a little less fuel than before and that it seems that the 9k sticks closer to the road in wild curves. The grip is much better.
