Accent MC (2006-11) :: Different Tire Size On Rear / Front Axle?

When I bought my 2008 accent I had to replace the two front tires in order to pass inspection. I think the garage didn't notice that my rear tires were actually a different size. The entire summer season I had been running two 205/45/16's on the front and two 205/55/16's on the rear.

After the winter I took them to a different garage to take off my winters and they refused to put my summers back on.... is this a major issue to run the 205/55/16's on the rear axle and the 205/45/16's on the front axle? I know they fit but is there a real safety concern or the garage covering their own bases.

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Separation Caused Significant Body Damage

It's a 2006 with 135K. About 3 weeks ago I had a tire separation that caused significant body damage to the bumper and left front fender. I had the tires replaced, but left the damage, for now, as it's only aesthetic.

Prius (2004-09) :: Tire Size Causing Traction Control To Improperly Engage?

I've recently started to have issues where when I get up over 55/60 mph the traction control will engage and limit the acceleration of my 2009 prius. I took the car into my local Toyota dealership and they claim it is because of the size tire I have.

I recently purchased a set of Hankook Optimo H727 replacement tires. After having done my research (mostly on these forums) I decided to go with the P195/60R15 tire size. Now I have several reasons to believe that the dealership has misdiagnosed the issue:

1. There are loads of people on this site who have installed 195 size tires (and larger) without issue as far as I can tell.
2. The issue did not begin immediately after installing the new tires, but rather a couple months later.
3. My brother installed the same exact tires on his 2005 Prius and does a lot more freeway driving than I do and has not had an issue.
4. My understanding from reading here is that in some other countries Priuses come with 195 size tires stock.

Toyota - Sienna :: 2006 - Struts Of Wrong Size Causing Damage To Lower Control Arms?

Had after market front struts installed by a non-dealer shop on 2006 Toyota Sienna. Dealer service dept diagnosed two months later that the struts were one inch too long and caused damage to the lower control arms. A director for training for the other shop (one of 80 + shops) completely discredits the dealer shop's theory about the relationship between the size of the struts and the damage to the control arms, while admitting the error with the struts. Both sounded credible as I have very limited mechanical background.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Changing Rim And Tire Size To 28565r20 To Level The Truck?

I have read many pages here on issue of leveling trucks.What concerns me most is the pics I see of the drive axles angles.

My question is if my stock 2005 runs a 265/70r17 tire and I level it with a 2 to 2.5" kit and change my rim and tire size to 28565r20 will this keep angles more level..

Phaeton :: 2004 V8 - Front Suspension Damage

I'm at a body shop now to pick up my 2004 V8 after fixing some scrapes from getting gently rear ended. When they pulled the car around, the front of the car was almost on the ground while the back looked very high. I'm concerned that the air ride is damaged. It's possible, if not likely, that they lifted the car without using jack mode. Can that be the cause of suspension damage?

Ford Transmission :: 1997 F150 - Front Drive Shaft Installation - Bolt Size?

Bought a used 1997 Lariat Supercab 5.4L last week. It was missing its front drive shaft so I want to install one.

I just ordered a used front drive shaft online but I now need the bolts that connect everything together. New drive shaft has all the flanges, etc.

What is the pitch/length of these bolts? The part number for the bolts is N800594-S100 (AB-308-D). I believe there would be 8 of them, 4 on each side.

I thought it might be easier and cheaper to just buy bolts from an aftermarket supplier instead of OEM from Ford.

Prius (2010-12) Fuel :: Calculating MPG When Tire Size Changes?

How the Prius calculates mpg based on miles driven then I need to create a formula that allows us to determine mpg when you change tire size.

We know the GenIII speedo reads between 1-2mph too fast but the ECU will continue to read exactly 2mph too fast despite tire size changes as verified by Scangauge and Torque app. So what is your mpg based on? Readings from the odometer, speedometer or something else?

If you change tire size then your miles driven is going to be altered. It's either going to be more accurate or less accurate depending on how this information is derived. If the miles driven is altered then so will be your mpg reading.

Golf V R32 :: Changing Tire Size / Re-calibrating The Odometer?

I am at the point where I am going to change my tires on my wheels. Currently running BBS RC's which are 8x17 ET32 with tires 225/45/17.

For those who are running wheels with such specs or more "exagerated" have you had your odometer recalibrated to respect the new rolling diameter change or not? If yes what was your easiest solution. I know depending on wheel/tire sizes, various factors can be affected including speed indication.

From all the websites I have seen and asked, I am told that I can go as less a 215 wide but not lower than 45 in "thickness" (if I stay in 17).

My objective is to of course remove rubbing during load and go a bit lower and therefore do not know if 215/45/17 will be enough of a change from 225/45/17.

Tires - Hyundai - Sonata :: Changing Tire / Wheel Size

I have a Hyundai Sonata w/ P215/55R17 tires.

I am almost due to get new tires and my husband says that we should switch the wheels and get regular tires, not the lower profile tires that were OEM w/ the vehicle. The current tires are expensive and regular tires would be less expensive in the long run. When I asked at the dealership 6 mos ago they said that it would not be good for the car and would adversely affect the performance. If I do change, what tire size (regular sidewall height) would be appropriate (and less expensive)to change to?

Hyundai - Sonata :: 2011 - Same Tire Size But Different Speed Rating?

I have a 2011 Hyundai Sonata GLS with 65k miles...it has a 2.4 liter motor (4 CYL), auto transmission. The car currently has 205-65-R16 tires on it with a 95H speed rating. They all have worn down to the wear bars so it's time for replacement.

On my previous cars, I've always had Uniroyal Tiger Paw touring tires because I love how they ride. I found the same tire size for my Sonata. However it has a different speed rating...95T.

The only difference is the letter "T".

EDIT: It currently has Nexen N5000 tires and I bought the car with these tires already on....crappy tires...worn down in only 30k miles.
