will this make much of a difference??

if i switch to 225/40/18 instead of the 225/35/18s i have on there now? I am finding there are plenty more tire choices in the 40 series than the 35s... i have 255/40/18s on the rear. What would you suggest for a good match for these cars tires wise??<ul><li><a href="http://www26.allpussy.net/">http://www26.allpussy.net/</a</li></ul>

don't you need to run the same overall diameter F + R? even though our cars aren't AWD all the

time, you don't want to chance messing up the diffs when their is power going to the rear wheels.

225/40 should be fine.

It just has to be close enough (I forget the published value that Haldex specs)

With Haldex diffs its more a matter of keeping the rolling diameters the same so that the computer doesn't think a wheel is slipping due to differences in speed.

yeah. but he's running 225/40/18 in front and 255/40/18 in the rear, that's a 1.1" difference...

pretty damn big. if he ran 255/35/18 in the rear, he could get away with it (both 25", using the potenza S-03 as a guideline).
