Wheel & Tire advice please

[kenderdine]

I was wondering if anyone could advise me the best All season tires to put on the TC. I do a lot of driving & need to know what will be the best for road wear & driving conditions.

Also, any advice on going from 17" to 18" wheels?

Thanks

If you drive a lot, you might want to stick with the 17's... a thicker wall will give you a more comfortable ride than a rubber band on an 18" rim.

Does Anyone Know If 20 Inch Rims Would Fit On My Tc And Would They Rum While Turning Or Am I Going To Have To Make Any Modifications To Make Them Fit As Well As Sugestions On Tire Size.

Not sure if this will help you guys but here's how to read a tire and hopefully help you choose your tire.

Suppose we are looking at the following tire:

P215/45R-17 87W

P - Stands for Passenger car tire. If it says LT than it is a Light Truck tire. If there is nothing there it means its a European metric tire.

215 - This is the width of the tire in millimeters.

45 - This is the height of the sidewall, but is measured in a percentage of the tire width. Ex: 45% of the 215mm equals a 96mm sidewall.

R - Radial tire construction

17 - the diameter of the wheel the tire is to be mounted on. Measured in inches.

87 - The load index or load capacity of the tire. Basically how much weight the tire can support.

W - The speed rating of the tire. Designates the maximum speed at which the tire can handle.
