Hi, I bought a 2013 Ford Falcon FG2 XR6 Turbo Sedan about 6 weeks ago. It's my first XR6 Turbo and I love the vehicle, but it has an issue. The vehicle has 245/35 19" tyres, which are standard. After noticing vibration on the motorway I had the wheels re-balanced, a wheel alignment and tyres re-inflated with nitrogen. When I collected the vehicle, the tyre guy informed me that all for wheels were buckled, 3 very slightly and one worse then others. I have done a little Googling and believe the damage (buckling) would likely have been caused from the ultra-low profile tyres offering very little protection to the wheels as they hit pots holes or whatever. Questions Can I replace my tyres with higher profile ones to offer more protection to the wheels? How high can I go before running into legal, warranty, mechanical, performance or other issues? Will going from for example a 35 profile up to a 45 profile make much difference to ride quality? Thanks heaps in advance for taking the time to read my post.
