skinnier tire vs LRR tire?
I'm trying to decide which size snow tires to get. Current tires are 245/75/R16.
Current:
245/75/R16
30.5" diameter
32 lbs
7.6" tread width
Snow tire: Yoko Geolander I/T GO72:
245/75/R16
30.6" diameter (+0.1" from current)
34 lbs (+ 2 lbs from current)
8.2" tread width ( + 0.6" from current)
LRR
225/75/R16
29.3" diameter ( -4% from current)
30 lbs (-2 lbs from current)
7.6" tread width (= to current)
The 245s should be more efficient because they are taller and LRR, but the 225s should be more efficient because they are lighter and skinnier. Which factors are more important?
