Driving through the city the other day ( where they were laying down some new asphalt), seemed that i drove over something hot or a chemical that melted a portion of my front tire...

With my luck, it was the front tire (hardest size to find), so I just ordered a new set (needed new tires anyways ):


Falken fk-452 : 245-40-19 (R) and 235-35-19 (F)

(the 245-35-19 (R) were backordered)

Any suggestions or comments on tire sizing or choice of tire would be great.

Hope these sizes don't set of the VDC to often.

 

you should be fine... the front will just be shorter than stock... carefull with potholes haha

 

pics of the old tires? Maybe some of the material just melted onto your tire, and the tire itself is still fine.

 

A local tire/wheel shop took a look at it and recommended it would'nt be worth saving due to the age of the tire itself..

But now my fear is that the new tires don't set off the vdc all day long..

 

If you go 35 the correct combo is 255/35 and 235/35

 

Any problems with my current setup, only reason i ask that i've already ordered the tires?

 

Nothing wrong

 

Hopefully with a wider tire in the front (235) instead of the stock size, will make the front wheel look less like a stretch...

 

melted?

 

yeah, thats how the tire shop described it...


Only reason I would describe it like thiswas because it doesn't look like a chipped off piece of rubber, but a gash with rounded edges....
