RED_ROCKET Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 if i reduce the tyre profile from 50 to 40 what will this affect ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 It will affect the rolling raduis of the tyre assuming you are sticking with the same tyre width. It will also lower the centre of gravity of your car. It will give you more space between tyre and wheel arch. There will be less 'comfort' in the ride, may not be all that noticable on a 50 to 40 profile drop, but it will be there to an extent.

DSK Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 We sell Hankook at just a fraction above budget tyre prices. Never had an personal experience with them and never had any customer complaints of any nature. However, I'd say look at Falken FK452 as the minimum, its a premium performer without the premium price tag, but Falken are upping their prices by around approximately 6% each quater so they are getting more and more expensive, so get them cheap whilst you can!
