LegaLazy Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi guys I have a 06 spec B . I believe my wheel size is 18x7.5.( correct me if I'm wrong) but I am in the market for new tires. But I cannot decide which size to go for. Please give me your input on which size you think is better for me. Comfort is key for me since I take my car to road trips and I daily it as well. Would I have any issues fitting the 225/45? Any rubbing issues? Is the ride quality reall bad for the smaller 225/40? Would I even notice the difference between the two? If you have any pictures of the 225/45 please post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There is nearly a 1" height difference between the 2 sizes. I just put 225/45/18 Michelins on my 3.0R and they have no rubbing issues. Not a close up, but you get the idea. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b83/JF-03-SS/IMG_1133.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino6303 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Do you need the all-season tire? If you have a dedicated setup for winter don't get the dws tires. Get the dw tire instead. I feel the summer one is much better than the all-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph1988 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi I changed out some cheap 225-40/18 for some Michelin 225-45/18. They ride better grip well and the speedo is now accurate but don't know about the odo. The bigger tyres look much better too and don't foul the bodywork.
