Difference 225 / 245
Just wondering whats the diffeerece between the 225 stock and the 245. I notice that most members change to the 245 on the stock , when replacing their stock tires.

On 8" rims, all things being equal...
225 has better turn in response
245 has more ultimate grip

More brands are offered in 245-40-18

I'm running 225-45-18

Dark brew so if this is truth could we run 225 in front and 245 on the rear?

Base on what i've been reading 245 are wider , but by how much?

Thanks

You can run staggered sizes but I don't have experience with that.

245-225 = 20 (expressed in mm).
