245/60/18 go on this coming Wednesday. Couldnāt find anyone locally cheaper than the dealership to do it so have an appointment booked along with my first oil change (prepaid maintenance package for 6 years).
Staying in a 60 series allowed me more choices so went with Michelin Primacy Tour...
Iām curious about this as well. I have a 2025 OBX and as far I know I donāt have ambient lighting like my ā14 Escape Titanium had which was also multi color.
Nice, Garth.
I couldnāt cancel my 55ās in time because of Easter holidays so they got shipped. Came yesterday. Iām in the middle of doing a return which could cost me up to $25 a tire. Iāll take my cans and bottles in which should cover that LOL, so Iām not bothered by it, Iād rather have the...
Thanks man. I think my decision is made and Iām trying to cancel my order on the 55ās before they ship, difficult during Easter holidays. I sent them an email. I wonder if I can put a stop payment on my PayPal, it hasnāt processed and charged me yet.
if I knew someone with a laptop and forscan...
Yeah I donāt know, man. Iām not a mechanical engineer or mechanic so I donāt want to just make assumptions. I donāt want to do something stupid that Iāll regret down the road. This is the first brand new vehicle Iāve ever bought and plan on taking care of it cuz Iāll be on a pretty tight budget...
So, after everything I wrote about my reasons and concerns staying in a 60 profile going to the wider 245 instead of going to a 55 to keep the exact same overall diameter, Iām finding myself drawn to the look of the 245/60/18 in the forum photos I saved and how they fill the wheel well a bit...
Yeah the calculator I came across I think said 3.3% or something like that. Enough to throw it off 4 or 5 km/h on the highway I take to work in the summer. Even more on the one I use to go get my gas which has a 110 limit that most people do 120 on.
I guess what Iām saying is Iām not so much after ābiggerā tires as just wider ones (for aesthetics which Iāll admit I OCD about).
The roads in my city are absolute crap, especially right now in the spring. Iāve already noticed that the OBXās 18ās in the 60 profile do much better here than the...
Yeah Iām not interested in 17ās in the slightest. The OBX factory rims were a big part of my decision to buy the BS OBX. I was even a bit disappointed they werenāt 19ās like my Escape lol. I didnāt even really like the BS until I saw an OBX at work in white with those rims.
⦠OBX trim package...
Nice. Iāll check it out. Someone posted a link to a different one that showed how far off the speedo could get as speed increases and itās not a subtle difference at highway speeds even only between a 55 and 60 in a 245
Howdy. Thanks for replying. Yes it will be the same overall diameter which I decided on for other reasons. Visually I wanted to see how much further they will stick out to the side of the vehicle and how much further the tire itself will stick out from the rim. I found a thread after I created...
Hi gang. New here. As the title says, Iām hoping someone here has 245ās on the factory 18ā Outer Banks wheels in either a 60 (or even better, 55) series and can either post or email me pics of that particular setup viewed from particular angles.
I found this forum Googling that exact thing and...
