Subject: Re: Tire Sizes on a C4 by tequilaboy on 2009/7/23 16:41:44 I would intend to run the same size tire all around. I measured a 255/60R17 General Grabber UHP mounted on a Toureg. From the specs, this is also supposed to be 29" tire like the 275/55R17. Actual height was about 28 1/4" tall, so I suspect that the 275/55R17 is closer to 28" than 29" FWIW. I would also consider a 255/50R17 front and 275/55R17 rear combination. With my 3.73 gears, the 255/50R17 will behave like a 3.55 gear, the 275/55R17 or 255/60R17 would behave like a 3.37 gear, compared with my present 255/45R17 tires. I wouldn't mind the shorter effective gearing. Its good to see that there are some "different" options available. |
