I know I missed something in the original post.. is the question to run 8's all around vs 8/9? and the other question the 225-50 vs the 225-45?
From an ease of use (and rotating tires) I would run the same size rim/tire on each corner. Also, while the difference is slight, would running the 225-45-15 acheive and gearing advantage/disadvantage for where you are running? Like the previous poster, I like the staggered 225/245 combo on 8/9s. Finding a wide low profile R comp tire to work on a 9x15 can be hard. Same with a 16". |
