Recently bought a VN which has P185/75 R14 tyres on it. One of them is a bit bald so I'm thinking about getting new ones on the rear. I find the back end slides around a lot and it's like trying to drive on an ice rink when its wet. Do you reckon I would get much extra grip if I got 215's instead?

the wider the tyre the more grips its gonna have on the road......but either way if you get new tyre your gonna have more grip that wit bald tyres :P
Thats all right, thats ok, I drive a commodore anyway!!!!
Ha ha yeah thats true!
225's will fit......great on the rear.........
Does the price of the tyre go up alot as you increase the width?
well yea, ya gettin more tyre on a 225 than a 205 .. but its not that huge an increase..
yea mate....but worth it...... "If ya got lots of GO, you need lots of WHOA".....lol....the more rubber on the road, the more stopping power you have...I put Toyo wetweather 225's all around on my VPeeee stops on a dime.......$135 each a year ago......
Ha ha anyone got any recomendations for anywhere in sydney thats good for tyres? beaurepaires maybe?
Tempe Tyres. Awesome prices on tyres (and wheels)
I am not 100% on this, but i think if you try and go to 225's on a 14 inch rim, they will cost you more than on a 15 inch rim...am i right anyone?![]()
THe 15inch prices are slightly different but very little like $3 depends on the tyre.
