You'll be fine, it's a mild stretch. Semiazas 02-07-2009, 11:25 AM Thanks so much my tires are down to nothing and i got them being put on now so finally i can drive agian without being scared. Wargoose 02-07-2009, 12:35 PM That's actually quite a large change in rolling diameter. You're going from a 26.0" OEM size to a 23.9" with those new tires, resulting in an almost 8% speedometer error (in your favour, mind you - speed will read higher than your actual speed). I wouldn't recommend it. Socket7 02-07-2009, 01:51 PM Tires that skinny will make it very easy to curb your wheels as well. But if it's between driving on bald tires and tires that are a bit to narrow, i'd pick the narrow tires with decent tread every single time. Just watch out for potholes. i don't think you have much sidewall on those. If you can afford it, I would go with 245/40/18 I think it's the perfect size for the OEM rims. NotAPreppie 02-07-2009, 03:08 PM Are you planning on replacing only the rears or all four? I don't recommend that much of a diameter change between front and back if you have DSC.
