At a higher altitude, you will be achieving a Richer Air-Fuel Ratio; therefore, an octane such as 87 will act as if it is higher because of altitude. Octane is dependent on your combustion chamber's compression ratio and some other dependencies.
It seems like 235/70r17 is gonna be the one i switch to when the time is right. The biggest reasoning for getting better tires for me is snow safety, so a larger diameter and similar width is ideal.
My rabbit hole started using the tire size comparison calculator. That's how I came to realize the differentiation in sizes between the two. Makes sense tho, and as @Bluebaru stated, there arent many tires available in that size anyway. thanks!
Everyone is talking about 245/65r17. Why choose that over 225/75r17? You achieve greater sidewall and retain the same tire width. I wonder if this would help with tire rub on the internal wheel well if its a thing for some. I am curious and naĂŻve on Tire Sizing so be gentle. I'd like to here the...
Yeah they don’t perform as well as metallic pads; however, I’m not lightning mcqueen on the roads. Just want quiet and clean pads Haha. I think that’s the main con of ceramics, and price.
My ideation is that I can design and fab my own bumper for cheaper than someone else doing it for me haha. But let us know if you get anywhere with Fab Four!
I like the idea. Replacing the bumper would take a lot more work since the whole front head unit is one piece essentially. If there was an easy to swap the bumper id go your route. Raise it up to get a better approach and make it fender bender proof.
I’m a mechanical designer, and have a lot of experience in fabricating metal components. Looking to see if anyone has access to a 3D model of the BS. I want to fabricate a front and rear bumper cage! Hopefully this will benefit multiple people.
