heartagram Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Larger rolling radius will put the speedo out. You will lose a bit of bottom end but should gain a bit of top end.But going from a 65 to 70 profile I can't imagine it'll be to noticeable. May not even be noticeable at all!

cardaft Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 The only problem i can see is there will be more flexing of the tyre sround corners. You may just want to run them 2PSi higher than normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
