It's not an "opinion" that they are functionally worse and dramatically more dangerous than properly sized tires.

this has nothing to do with the thread at hand. again I ask- can we please keep your opinion on stretched tires out of the thread before this devolves into the latest bi-weekly circlejerk on the same rehashed subject?

to comment more on the topic:

those wheels are damn heavy. if you're bent on putting those wheels on, the hub replacement linked earlier would be a perfect fit for this kind of project.

We are talking about dangerously mismatched tires on ridiculous wheels, it has everything to do with the thread at hand. If you don't want to have a discussion about it, don't post on a public forum.

Or do you just want me to coo to you about how wonderful your individual taste is? A for effort Timmy!

[cheshirecat79]

Not really. I would rather see you actually contribute to the question in the OP and help address a question rather than berate members for their individual tastes, but we both know that's not going to happen.

Nevermind: forget I said anything. Please feel free to continue your ranting over subjects you disapprove of. Enjoy.

Taste has nothing to do with the topic here.

Recently, I have buy 4 wheel from a X5.

I need 4 new tires. So, I don't know what size to buy.
I think 225/35/19 for front and 255/30/19 for rear.
It a good size? Will be safe on the road?

Thanks

Sometimes I wish modern tires weren't so forgiving to idiots.

If taste has nothing to do with the topic here then stop posting your hatred towards stretched tires.

Your opinion of diminishing the functionality of the wheel/tire/car is completely incorrect. On summitracing's website, Nitto INVO 255/35 tires are within the range of being used for a 10" wide wheel. If this was as 'dangerous' and 'utterly broken' as you say then Nitto would not recommend this size tire for a 10" width wheel as they would be open to lawsuits from all of the broken cars that used this combination.

Edit: Here is the link to where Nitto recommends a 10" width for a 255/35 series tire

Do I really need to explain how contact patches work again?

A properly fitted 255 series tire is the same, there will be less sidewall movement the wider the wheel. And a 255 on a 10" wide wheel is a properly fitted tire. You came in here saying it was 'dangerously mismatched' and that the tires are not 'properly sized' and you are wrong.

You should probably reread the thread.

Looks like you still need to reread, try again!

Pro tip, I haven't changed any of my posts.

I imagined this EXACT setup. Thank you for going through with it, I think it is awesome.

[blackburn-hero]

Thanks for all info. I decided to sell my setup.. I like the look but. wheel is very heavy.
I want a setup more simple with no problem.

Your onto something here Stig but don't use the pro tip unless your a professional drifter. People might think your a douche.
