Craig. Member 563 Member For: 17y 6m 16d Gender: Male Location: Sunshine Coast QLD Posted 14/10/08 01:35 AM Share Posted 14/10/08 01:35 AM What does that mean? Will I have problems??Only if you crash, at which point your insurance company will void your cover and you could leave yourself open to a very large, expensive legal battle. If you can, make sure you buy tyres with the correct load rating guys! The onus is on you, not the tyre fitters, although I suspect that's why your tyre fitter wouldn't fit them for you Hanra.

The load index is not suitable for XR's in the 245/40/R18 range. The 265/35/R18's is ok though.they both have the same load rating 93w http://www.federaltyres.com.au/specs/ss595.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I drove like he did last nite with my nexens I would have ended up in a tree! I think I know what tyres im gettin next! Toyo proxes FTW!

R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 18y 10m 5d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 22/11/08 10:38 PM Share Posted 22/11/08 10:38 PM Really? My PROXES 4's are sh*te in the wet. I put the boots in 5th on Maroondah Hwy just before the bypass to overtake someone last night and it kicked out when boost hit. Now that's how you end up in a power pole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
