Hi All
About to grab a new set of RE-71Rs and wanting to step up to 255 fronts and 275 rears. I'm on the stock 788 wheels but do have camber plates installed
with this being the results of most recent alignment (shouldn't be a problem from my reading).
So the odd thing is that when I search for the M2C (their By Vehicle option) in Tire Rack and select the factory option of 245/35-19 and 265/35-19 I get
these results which include the Re-71R, which is expect and what i've been running on up until now.
Now if I backtrack to still using the Search by Vehicle, but instead specify custom sizes down the bottom and use 255/35/19 and 275/35/19 I get
these results instead with the RE-71R seemingly missing.
Now if I instead go through searching by tire sizes directly (rather than by vehicle) I get
these results which does include an RE-71R option
The stats of the 245/265 tires are
Front: 245/35R19 93W XL
Load Range: XL
Serv. Desc: 93W
UTQG: 200 A A
Rear: 265/35R19 98W XL
Load Range: XL
Serv. Desc: 98W
UTQG: 200 A A
and the stats of the 255/275 I find manually are
Front: 255/35R19 96W XL
Load Range: XL
Serv. Desc: 96W
UTQG: 200 A A
Rear: 275/35R19 96W
Serv. Desc: 96W
UTQG: 200 A A
So it looks like the only difference is the load index where the rear 265 tires are 98, so 750kg per tire whereas the 275 is 96, which is 710kg per tire. Does that actually present a problem? By chance any other attributes I've missed in the comparisons?
