darwin Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) here are some weight (not found on the website) figures for the T1R tyre i have added the R888 specs suitable for 15" lupo wheels aswell. note the superb R888 tyres are 1.1kgs heavier than the equivalent T1R, something to bear in mind. i would say for a lupo running under 130bhp more performance could be had from having the lighter but less grip tyre of the t1R.WHEEL SIZE ---- LOAD/ ------ OVERALL---- OVERALL -----STATIC -- REVS ---- TYPE ---- -- PERMITTEDInflated --------- SPEED ---------DIA--------- WIDTH ------ RADIUS -- PER ----- WEIGHT ---- RIMSDimensions ----- INDEX -------- (mm)--------- (mm)------- (mm) ---- MILE ----- (KGs)------ (inch)R888 195/50 R15 --- 82V ------ 574 ------- 203 ------ 266 --- 919 --- 8.8 ----- 5.5 - 7.0T1R195/50R15r --- 82V ------ 576-------- 198 ------ 267 --- 916 --- 7.7 ----- 5.5 - 7.0195/45R15------------------------------------------------------ 7.1 ----- 6.0 - 7.5205/45R15------------------------------------------------------ 7.6 ----- 6.5 - 7.5215/45R15------------------------------------------------------ 8.1 ----- 7.0 - 8.0 Edited April 9, 2009 by Silver!

Lee_ Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Interesting stuff, I would imagine its the sidewall stiffening in the R888's which bulks them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
