My local shop has a cracking deal on a set of tyres that includes a 190/55 rear tyre. I've never run a 190 on the 4s before. As the 4s has the OEM carbon hugger, are there any clearance issues? Does it mess up the steering? I've already jacked up the rear a fair but and it is plenty stable but turns in nicely. Cheers, A
I'm guessing that you OE rear tyre is a 180/55 ? That being the case, to maintain the rolling radius as close to OE you would look to fit a 190/50. A 55 profile in the 190 will interfere with your hugger. Andy
Aye, I suspect that's why the shop has a surplus of 190/55 tyres and is practically giving them away. Cheers
If it's same rim as 996 it's fine, you will notice it's taller than a 190/50 and may rub hugger etc If you want to research check out gearingcommander.com as when you change tyre sizes it shows difference in speed too
I'd suggest not going with a 190/50. It will turn slower than the 180/55. Also, going from 180/55 to 190/55 will change ride height. When I switch my wheels for the track, I sometime use a 180/55 or a 190/55, and a change requires adjusting the rear shock height.
