Changing tire size on same Venaci Rim

seahorse12 · 01-27-2014, 04:23 PM

Hi,
I am having to change my tires very frequently (10K miles) and looks like I have high camber coz the inside of my front tires looses tread while the outer edges and even the center is intact. I am using Venaci VS-124 rims. Now that Im planning to use my car a lot more, I would like to change the tires. My tires right now are (on the front) 265-35-ZR19. I am wondering if I can switch to 255-35-R19? That would give me significantly better price and mileage rating on the tires.
I could get Kumho tires for $196each with 40K rating. Can I use the same rims and switch from 265-35/19 to 255-35/19?

Also, would taking to a shop to get the camber right be a good idea? How much should it cost?

Thank you all for help in advance

What are the specs on your wheels? Shouldnt be a problem if they are 9.5" wide in the front

your toe eats more tire than camber alone.

and as terribleone said.

it's like this one girl that cooked me dinner one time in college. it's like it's almost tasty but something's missing... like more MSG needed.

265/35/19 on the front

why are you running such a big tire in the front

How wide your front wheel???

You think? Front tires should last a lot longer than 10k. Jesus. If you lowered the car at all, get camber arms, toe bolts and an alignment. How many sets of tires have you gone through?
