I am looking at getting some wider wheels for my S3, and was wondering if anyone has had any probs with sunraysia wheels. I currently have the original r15 on her but I am trying to do more beach driving than anything else, so the wider the better. The ones I am looking at are R15x10. However, the bloke who is selling them has 2 road type treads for the front and 2 more mud like tyres for the back. My old man reckons I should probably have all the tryes the same, otherwise I will bugger the transfer box when I am four wheel driving. Is this a problem does anyone know?
thanks heaps,
Dick

DickFox,
Yeah, you're best off having the same diameter tire at each corner. That being said, having a 15" rim, and one that wide gives you a lot of latitude as far as tire choices, especially wide ones.

I'm currently running Kumho Venture MTs in 235/85/16 on my truck...prolly too tall and skinny for your needs, but I'm pretty impressed with them...

But it doesn't really matter if they are different treads, as long as they are the same diameter, is that right?

Yes must have the same diameter.
Just one thing that happend to me.
I had an idea in my head that I wnated to fit the biggest tires possible, without cutting the body or doing any other mods.

so I Fitter a set of General RV 16 -750's. Works fine until I want to turn! My turning circle went from bad to nearly non-exsisting!

Good tire for my needs - Rocky, sandy terrain with a lille bit of mud once or twice in the summer. Not thorn resistant enought though!
