Post by: Bulla on March 12, 2007, 11:02:07 AM
Does anyone know if its possible to get Toyo T1-R in this size ? I\'m having trouble finding them.

Or any other tyre that comes in this size that you can recommend ?

Cheers

Think you will find on 17\'s you need 235 / 40 for the front and 255 or 265/ 45 for the rear.
hth
fitting 35\'s will be undersizing the gearing.

18 & 17 Rex tyres..

225,40x18 matched to 255,35x18
or
235,40x18 matched to 265,35x18

Then

225,45x17 matched to 255,40x17
or
235,45x17 matched to 265,40x17

Keeping rolling radius/tyre diameter the same as each other.

Tell me to nob off if you like .... :chat

Interesting seems you know more than Mazda, certainly when it comes to 17\'s anyway and I am far to polite to tell you to knob off:yes

The original post asked about 265mm tyres.

i simply tried to reply with the correct matched sets.

Mazda will always recommend conservative figures. And not the real facts you might like to hear.
