the wheels are 18" wrapped in 255/55 continental summer-only tires (v-spd rated).
during the breakin period i'm keeping them @ 35 psi, but will probably add to that a bit. besides the add'l rolling resistance of a wider tire, what other affects can a wider tire have on the synergy drive? the overall diameter of the wheel is .5" bigger - very close to stock so speedo should be just a pinch slow.
all comments welcome. |
I have a similar setup. Voxx 18" wheels with 255/55 Pirelli Scorpions on them. The improved handling is remarkable, and the vehicle looks a ton better as well. Much more "planted" and stable in appearance. I've driven this setup for 13K miles, and couldn't be happier. I've also put winter tires on the factory rims, and the Highlander grips like glue on the ice-n-snow.
