Monaro CV8, tyres sizes 235, - anyone tried 245??
Discussion
I have been running on 245 section for a while.
No negative experiences outside increased cost, on the plus, helps protect the rim very well.
I did it for the rims alone!
It will throw the speedo out by a few mph, so you will be faster than indicated, can be recalibrated traders that post on these forums.

Michelin Pilot Sport give tremedous mileage but I would not use again. Very poor in the wet.Spin off quite easily.Whatdo you want? mileage or grip.I would go for grip every time.It was mentioned earlier thread that a road test with a Monaro on 5 different sets tyres and these tyres were low down the list.Autocar 19th October 2004.
245's feel too wide for the front on the VXR.. i know they are OEM and they are fine but when pushing the car about at high speed on the twisty's, the front feel's (to nick a Wayne Raineyism) squrrely. Stodgey is another word. I was wondering what 235's or even 225's might do to improve. I doubt the 225's would fit on the rims though, but it would be fun to try.....
