[QUOTE="trex92, post: 1389217, member: 4353"] since 205 and 225 measures the width of the tyres and 65 and 60 measures the thickness of the tyres (in %), using a 205/65 means that from the rim is 133.25mm (205mm x 65%) whereas 225/60 would be 135mm so by changing to the 225, u would actually be running on slightly bigger wheels (bigger by 1.75mm). Bigger wheels usually means that:- 1. Slower acceleration due to heavier wheels and bigger circumference of the tyre (think of a bicycle, bicycle with small wheels against bicycle with big wheels, which would be able to move first with the same energy pedalled?). 2. Higher top end speed as now 1 revolution of the bigger wheel would mean greater distance covered (since bigger circumference). 3. Bigger wheels would cause ur speedometer to be slightly out of syn and give a wrong reading. Since the difference isnt that big, ie 1.75mm, the differences might not be noticable. [/QUOTE]
