i drive my car daily on the roads, it´s not a show car. with 225 or 235/45 on the front. why did you guys run with over-larged wide tires ?
when i read all the postings in the wheels and tire section....its amazing when i´m read the tire sizes on the front axles.
ok, cool looking....but for a good ride ?? Nope !
ball-joints, bushings, steering arms, the complete suspension must hard work with this tires.
245 or wider tires in front ? never.
you will lose handling and steering quality and short life suspension parts.
this is my view about big front tires
now you can say: this guy is crazy and have no experience, he lives in Europe.
but fact is: not allways is bigger the better way
i wonder why vettes, vipers, and some high end Europeans run a large rear along with a large but staggered front tire, all bigger then 245??? please tell? those cars seem to work very well, and if i remember right, most of these firsts gen camaros have late model corvette susp.. please tell us all how its going to be so much harder on susp parts, etc?????????????????????
hi,
you are clever enough, for answer yourself: HIGH END cars
and please, the most of this high end cars has electronic helpers, ABS, EPS and so on, my old cars have a very good suspension and a Eaton posi and no electronic helpers. i would like to see you when its raining on a curvy road with your large tires and why suspension and steering parts ? give your kid´s your old gumboots for all day going to school and play with friends. this oversized gumboots are very good for childrens bones.

are you kidding? so a 100k camaro is not high end? and because it does not have abs it affects the susp performance while driving? i think i may be missing something here.
so there it is, you have nothing of fact to say about why large front tires are bad(when the same cars we take the susp from run the same large tires). and your only reply is "wheres my high end car" well mine is being finished, and i just finished one, and i have driven a 150k, and 3-4 100k cars, but i don't know anything. actually at rth3 there were several 100k cars running in the cruise in the pouring rain on mtn roads some with large tires, but none of us slid off the road?? air ride had 2 cars in it along with the giveaway chevelle, vinnys car, etc.
have fun.
forget it man, and be happy with your cars.
when i turn the key in my V8, i can say: this car is homemade and not build from many shops and helpers.
i pay many more bucks for the same part than you.
we live here in Europe, dont forget this small difference.
when i need a special part, i must wait and pay for shipping and customs, for all parts.
i drive my chevy and my olds with love and not for business.
thats all.
i hope you can understand this words from a farm truck driver from Europe.
i never said you drove a farm truck, i just asked you questions about why you are a large front tire hater,lol, its all good and i can understand it costing you alot of money to get parts over there.
