So hows that 14" compair with some 13" 155's?

Just curious.. at 71 bucks each and the cost of rims how many sets of 155's would it take to make up for that set of LRR 14's and rims.. I just checked a few days ago and 155's were around 30-40 bucks each

you have to figure out the break even point on some of these things.. some times were throwing cash at stuff to not get gains that will repay you for a long long time.

However that 14" is a sweet resistance rating.. love to see what differences it makes in real world testing on the forums here.

Also its going to effect my end gear ratio.. it will be a 8.6% bigger than my stock size 13"... for me I'm going to need that.. but, these wont be for all of us.. only the ones who want to re-gear for more economy...

Also one other consideration.. tread wear rating these 14" have a rating of 240.. thats pretty low.. tires will be replaced pretty fast.
