One week in a VECTRA CDXI

go the snowflakes... you know you want to

I understand rubber for a 19" costs around $250 per.

for the right load rating, try more like $350+ each

[McTwistie]

$250+ for 19" rubber? Are we talking around $400 per in some cases ?

What is Road Rating? And what different kind of tyres are there other then Wet/Dry/Composite?

[hazrd]

LOAD rating

its the weight the tyre can handle per corner... have a look at your tyre placard.. it tells you what the minimum load rating is for your car, if its under, then its unroadworthy and can void insurance etc

Was going to say, where can you get 19" rubber for 250ea. ??? must have personal wheel contacts like me

More like 300 up and for anything decent, you'll need at least the better part of $400ea...ie. normal retail, top shelf tyres will be about $600ea for 19's...

At least the pricing has actually come down these days, 10 years ago a good set of 18's cost up to $700ea

Load rating is the load the tyre will safely handle, it's the last printed number after size/series and before the dia number...

AFAIK for a Vecce C it's 89 - check your current tyre wall or inside your door jam or fuel flap for the manufacturers specs as well...

veccy C is slightly heavier than the B's and the B's have a 91Y minimum
i wouldn't expect any less for the C's

SO something like this cannot be used ? I notice the road rating is 88w.

I am not even sure what the 225-35 means. Sorry for being newb... :angel:

Sounds about right, I was going by the load rating on Calibras and TS Astras which is 87 and logically thought the Vecce C must be a little more, at a guess 89

i wish it was 89, then i could go 215/40
so i wouldnt scrub as much
