ANOTHER ONE FOR THE EXPERTS.,

I HAVE THE 17' DIRECTIONAL STYLE WHEELS AND I'M TOLD THEY ARE 7.5" WIDE. RIGHT NOW I HAVE 265/70/17 WITH GOODYEAR RT/S TIRES. THAT TRANSLATES INTO:
265 = 10.4" TREADPATCH
70 = 7.3" SIDEWALL
17 = 17" RIMS
GOODYEAR RT/S = JUNK

MY QUESTION IS CAN I GO TO A 285/60/17 PERRELLI P-ZERO (11.2" TREADPATCH) OR DO I HAVE TO STAY WITH THE 265 WIDTH (265/60/17)?

Go to: http://pirelli.pearlcomm.com/Canada/...dimensions.htm

Pirelli says 8.0-10.0 for that tire.

WELL IT SEEMS PIRELLI RECOMENDS MINIMUM OF 8 INCH WHEEL FOR IT'S 285/60/17 AND THEY DON'T MAKE A 275/60/17. THAT ONLY LEAVES THE 265/60/17 AS A CHOICE. NOW YOKOHAMA SAYS YOU CAN USE A 7.5" WHEEL FOR ITS 285/60/17 AVS/ST BUT THE 275/60/17 IS $40 BUCKS CHEEPER PER TIRE... WHAT TO DO... WHAT TO DO... ANYONE HAVE THE YOKOHAMAS???
