Different Size Tires on Car?
Hi, Would it make any difference if i have 195/50 in the front and 195/55 in the back? Or it is better to have same aspect ratio on all four? Thanks!
It may not be ideal, but having two different sizes is not a problem. One winter, I ran 185/60/14 snow tires in the back and 185/65/14's in the front. Thats just what I had on hand. Just make sure to keep the same sizes side by side and you will be fine.
Not sure what you are doing with your car. One nice advantage of same size is easy rotation without changing front to rear balance. This can help with wear, obviously. That might be less important with snow tires for winter. I drive few miles on snow tires and do not worry much about rotation. I may worry about traction, not so much about sidewall and lateral grip. Many cars come with different sizes, but then that is the point, they come that way because someone figured out what was best. If I had different sizes and wanted to use them, then I would recognize the limitations, but I would not but them that way. Thereare many tire size charts that give rolling radius, as Nsxtacy noted, they are not the same tire.
