I've been running 225/45R15 on 7" and 8" wheels and they worked fine. But now that I need new tires I'm going to 8s all the way around and debating about stepping up to 245/40R15. Anyone have experience with 245 on 8" wheel? It's within spec from Hoosier for that tire and through email correspondence with Hoosier they said it would work fine. I also asked them about building heat in the tire since I struggle with that on the 225s already. They said that yeah I would build less heat but the cooler 245s would generate more grip than slightly warmer 225s.
