winter 225 45 18 and 245 40 18... bad idea?

jedi-knight83 · 11-16-2019, 02:47 PM

I've got a spare set of 18" 400m wheels I'm going to use as winters.

I've found a guy selling a set of tyres for a very reasonable price but they are 225 45 18 front (correct) but only 245 40 18 rear.

-4% width
-1.2% rolling radius

I've got a RWD 330d

Bad idea?

Should be fine, the narrower the tire the better for snow, just make sure the tires arent more than 2-3 yrs old.
