thatcutteeboy Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Just a warning,I used to run 225/35-20 and there just wasn't enough sidewall for the potholes here in Phoenix. I went through 3 tires without ever reaching 4000 miles on them, the sidewalls just got cut too easy. I now run 245/45-20 tires with no problem and no unexpected flats. 225/35 is a smaller sidewall then a 245/35 .....if you run a 245/45/20 tire your speedo is going to be WAY off Thanks for the reassurance Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnatGoSplat Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 I run 245/45-20 tires and there is plenty of sidewall and they don't rub. Also the ride is near stock. :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: You SURE about that? Your pic looks more like 245/35-20. 245/45-20 is a huge-ass truck/SUV tire. These are what 245/45-20's look like: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x290/markkennedy33/My%2008%20Honda%20CR-V/crvpaint001.jpg That would look ridiculous on a W-body, IMO. Not to mention I doubt you'd be able to steer with beefy tires like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 the 45s have an extra inch of sidewall compared to the 35s... and is a total of 2" taller... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
