Message: <blockquote data-quote="coriolis" data-source="post: 2965753" data-attributes="member: 63679">Dear bros (& maybe sis),I was alerted by my car detailer yesterday about my rear tyres being in not good condition, so I might have to look for new ones soon.Below are my current wheels (I'm running 18", might consider 17" once I get back the stock 17" rims from the prev owner):Front - yokohama a-drive r1 225/40z/r18 92w  Rear - dunlop direzza dz101 245/45/r18 96w  I was using this calculator for some quick checks: <a href="http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp" target="_blank">Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing</a>Now the results really got me worried. According to the site, the general rule of thumb is if diameter diff is >3%, there will be risk of brakes failing. Stock tyres for IS300 is given as 215/45/17, so I will go by this as a benchmark.The results say my front diameter difference is 1.88%, rear is 7.76%(!). I might have to change the rear tyres pronto. I messed a bit with the calculators and somehow the best ones would be 215/40/r18 (0.65%) and 225/40/r18 (1.88%). I would like to keep the tyres width difference at 20mm, but 235/40/r18 (3.12%) is borderline unsafe. What I need to know from any sifus here is:1) Can the website and the calculation be trusted?2) Should I go for same width for front and rear, to keep both at +20 difference or reduce to +10 difference? Or it doesn't matter at all? 3) What width and profile should I look for then?Appreciate if you can help me out here. Thanks!p.s: and yes, recommend me a good tyre shop around Klang Valley or Selangor. :P</blockquote>
