Hi All,
I am in need for a new set of tires and I want to put Michelin PS2 on my car but Michelin does not make the front tire N-rated.
Front: 225/40/18
Rear: 295/30/18
Michelin does make the PS2 N-rated but in the 235/40/18 size. Slightly taller and wider but within 4% spec. I found some postings in PCA.Org which state it is OK to go for the 235s. But I am looking to find if someone has done something similar.
Has anyone done this on a 4-wheel drive (C4 or C4S)? Any issues with the front drive? Someone mentioned that this slighter change may bring issues to the front wheel drive and/or transmission. Is this right?
I have already found that my speedometer will not read properly (70 read will mean 70.88) but nothing on issues with a 4-wheel drive.
Of course, the alternative is to put non-N-rated PS2 on front or just stay with the stock option.
I will appreciate any comments.
Thanks.
Martin
