18" Wheel and tyre upgrade

[castorpsd]

Hi guys

I am about to put some 18" wheels on my surf kzn 130. I am being given conflicting advice in terms of the correct tyres. Do I go with 255/55/18 or 255/60/18?

I am told the 255/55/18's are about £100 more expensive. I am tempted to go for the 255/60/18 but do not want to mess with the ride height at all.

Help please.

Thanks

Rob

Not sure I can! I tried soon after I realised I had posted it twice.

Don't actually know if you can either, but you can always edit the other to take out the text and replace it with something like "double post, ignore..."

To your question, there's a thread here with a link to a very comprehensive article about tyres and wheels. I'm sure the answer depends on what width the rims you're putting on are too - all you said here is that they are 18".

That's as much help as I can be I'm afraid. Can I ask why you want to put 18" rims on?

I answered your question in your other post!

That's wrong on more levels than Mike Tyson getting breast implants.

It's also much larger than 18" rims.
