- Showing the difference between Michelin Pilot Spot A/S3+ 235/40/18 and Dunlop Direzza Z3 245/40/18 on a Golf R MK7.5
Both set of rims are Neuspeed RSe10 18x8.5" ET45mm.
Stock suspension with EuroSport Camber Pucks that give -1.9 degrees camber on the front wheels.
Rubbing can occur on abrupt suspension compression in high speed applications such as track. No issues with rubbing on the street.
Let me know if you have comments or questions. Thanks! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Its better you show side by side of the two tires to see the general differences of Width between 235 vs 245
Hey Andrew, it'd be great if we can see a full side view of the car in your future videos! Cheers
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
Thank you and I'm glad I could contribute!
Does it get slower when you put the 245’s? Will I have any problems with stock suspension and stock camber?
Nice n meaty set up🔥🔥🔥
Hey Andrew, can you please tell which color option on the Neuspeed website you ordered for both the rim used in the Michelin an Dunlop tyres? I personally like the more glossy look of the rim in the Dunlop tyres a bit better. I ask this because I concider buying a set. Thank you for the great video! Kind regards, Dimitri.
Hey Dimitri. Just took a look at their website and they have more color options now. I have Gunmetal Satin for Michelin and Black Satin for Dunlop. Yes the black satin is more glossy than the gunmetal satin but it's more subtle and not full on glossy color.
The rims are the same size and fit different tires and if so would that work on other rims also
This is exactly the video i'm looking for. thanks for sharing.
BTW can you tell which size is more comfort and quiet?
For comfort go with 245 due to the bigger sidewall. For quiet go with 235 due to the lower surface area and friction. Overall I'd pick the 245.
How are you putting tyres with different profiles (40/35% of 235mm) in the same size wheel without altering the gearing? You need to change profile when you change tyre if you’re using the same wheel size?
The "gearing" is altered between the two sets of tires in a way that the speedometer is not the same for both. Generally you can use any tire size you want if it fits under the wheel well but your speedometer won't be accurate anymore. The 235 I'm using on the street and the 245 on the track.
Sorry I don’t know if I got that but what color are the wheels? Gloss black or Satin black?
Satin black and satin gunmetal.
I have to go to 235 because it might rub on 245 when i lower it
Wow Excellent 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥
I heard this before from people with Camaro's. A youtuber was Comparing Michelin to Continental. Michelins are notoriously wider and taller since the height is a % of the width. That's horrible! Especially when you want to make the tire look a certain way, or you expect it to look a certain way, then you mount the tire and it doesn't look right.. Too big, too wide, too bulky, too tall.. But this is not a problem if you can swap out tires until you get the right look and size. Like if you are GM and you engineer it a certain way. But from a buyer stand point, you never know what you are getting until it is installed, and by the time it is too late! That is the only reason why I don't want to buy Michelin, at this time.
You know every tire brand uses the % thing, right?
Looks like the 245 fits very perfectly. How do each handle? What is lost or gained between the two sizes?
I'd say there are only benefits like more grip, more sidewall and better stance. Only downside would be increased rolling resistance which doesn't matter too much because it's not an EV.
@@noctisgt cool nice car btw
I may go 245/40/18 for summer and winter on my R. I’m on 034 lowering springs, will I rub bad?
To be honest I don't know. It depends on how much camber you have and wheel offset.
@@noctisgt stock camber and +45 off offset
@@Jvilleman400 It will most probably rub because on hard compressions I had rubbing just a bit with 245/40/18 on the track on -1.9 camber. On the street it was fine but with lowering springs and stock camber it will rub IMO.
@@noctisgt dammit
I have a 2015 Honda Civic si and I have some 18x8.75 +35 with d2 coil overs and I wanted to run 245 40 18s is that possible with minimal to no rubbing
No idea for Civics.
245/40 zr18 sport pilot 4s on 18 inch rims will they touch the panel inside
will it rub
Depends on the rim width and ET plus your front camber settings.
I just got thw same wheels 18×8.5 ET45 will this clear my bramo brakes caliber and I am also on HR coilovers
These will clear big brake kits
Do you think 265 tires size on 18×8.5 ET45 with coilovers will work on 2017audis3?
@@dontsugarcoat2729 depends on your setup you have with the coilovers. I'm inclined to say no. 265 is probably too wide for 8.5 too.
@sictirul Igor the same wheels as you. With 18×8.5 ET45. . Your opinion on tires size .nothing with 225 .looking for wider look without spacers
@@dontsugarcoat2729 I don't have the Golf R anymore to check the space between the tires and suspension components. Especially that you have coilovers and I don't know your camber values, I'd check under the car if a 255 wouldn't touch the damber or other components.
Can you tell the width of the rim?
It's 8.5"
@@noctisgt Is it okay to put 235 / 40r18 tires on a 7.5jj wide rim?
@@kaveeshagimahan8748 On 7.5" a 235 will look meaty but it's doable.
@@noctisgt 225 does not seem to be less than full
@@kaveeshagimahan8748 I'm not sure what you mean by that.
Is the car lowered here?
It isn't.
@@noctisgt thanks! You don't hqve any pics/vids of the car with maybe side on view to show the arch gap do you?
@@stevehunt8122 I don't and I sold the car years ago.
