Low Profile Tire Question

Mrbangis · 03-12-2009, 10:47 PM

Is it ok to use 35 series front and 30 series rear on 20inch rims? If NO, what are the implications? Also, anyone on 20's with 30front, 25rear, please share your ride experience. Not too many potholes in my area, but i was told 20s are a whole lot different compared to 19s in ride quality.

Also, is it even advicealbe to purchase TPMS on these rubberbands?

It really boils down to the width of the tires you are planning on using, since the side profile measurement as you may know is the % of the width of the tire.

im running 30s front and 25s rear on 20's. To tell you the truth i can't tell much difference from my stock 189s on run flats. Sure you have to be on the look out for potholes but bumps on the road will feel the same. Also riding on thinner tires is more of a reason to have tpms since it would be harder to tell if your tires are low. Plus you wont have your tpms warning on constantly.

What tires specs are you riding on? how's the threadwear on the tires? any rubbing issues?

im running, Nitto Invos 20x8.5 w/ 245/30/20 and 20x10 w/ 285/25/20. Im on sport suspension and absolutely no rubbing. So far the treadwear is pretty minimal but i've only put around 2-3000mi on them so far. Also there are alot of members running this setup lowered and rolled with no rubbing at all.
