April 15, 200818 yr #1 Hey, just got a flat a while ago, and my question is... I have a 19" rim with 245's on the left hand rear and the povo spare on the right hand rear.. Will this cause any problems.. if any? Apart from the sh*tty handling...Its only till the weekend, cause time off work is impossible at the moment....Cheers Mike...
April 15, 200818 yr #2 Keep the high speed runs to a minimum and you will be fine.Ford recommends a max of 80ks
April 15, 200818 yr #3 I was always concerned about this.I'd swap the spare with a front rim and have a matching 19 on the rear. Just take it easy though.
April 15, 200818 yr #4 I was always under the impression the tyres will turn at different speeds if rolling diameter is not the same and will destroy your diff
April 16, 200818 yr #5 Author Thx for the advice... I went to the tyre joint near me and the guy said it was ok. The flat was due to a puncture so it was easily fixed and $25 later I was outta there
April 16, 200818 yr #6 at least the people that put your rims on didnt crossthread a nut lol.changed all my 20's back to stock to go down south and got to the front left hand one and found that I had one crossthreaded nut that wasnt gonna co-operate so now im left rolling on 4 nuts instead of 5 lol..no big deal..I hope
April 16, 200818 yr #7 Keep the high speed runs to a minimum and you will be fine.Ford recommends a max of 80ks they RECCOMEND that but its not a tyre speed issue, those spare 16 dunlop tyres are suitable upto about 230kmph...its more of a handling issue and they just say that speed for safety reasons.
