Winter tire question

[jagger1978]

Hi everyone, I am looking for input on my 24' Telluride X Pro that has the stock tires and rims P245/60R18's....I have my previous Sorento winter tires on 18" rims, that are 235/60R18...are there any issues using these winters on the Telluride even though the width is 10mm less?

Thanks everyone.

Aspect is a ratio in that a 60 series is not always the same with the width size. So that tire is going to be a slightly different diameter. Whether it accounts for much of an issue to be seen. There are calculation on sites like the one above that help or just call and ask Tirerack.

Your Speedo will be off almost 3mph. The speedo will read 65 and you will really be going 62

^That's not correct. 65mph on the dash while you're really moving 63.9mph. I don't know why the member above posted the calculator and then posted incorrect speedometer information.

The difference in overall diameter change is the same as the difference of tread depth in a new vs used tire. I would use them, but as others pointed out they're not exactly the same size.

You could also check the load rating of the tire. Most tires in these sizes are rated for over 2000lbs per wheel, so also shouldn't be a problem.

You are correct I must have put in the wrong tire size by mistake.

The tires will work since the tire variance is less than 3%. I would go with the slimmer tires because more vehicle weight is being distributed over a slightly narrower contact point providing better traction.
