Overthinking is what I do best!
Been mulling what tire sizes to get for my new-to-me Cayman S II 18" wheels to swap out my 17" wheels on a 2001 Base.
Just ordered these sizes:
215/45/18
245/40/18
They are .6" and .7" inches larger in diameter than my current tires. 25.7" is just inside the 3% rule.
Why did I choose these over the more accepted 225/255 setup? Well, going from 17s to 18s I liked the extra sidewall height. I also like the little longer gearing for high speed cruising. With the lighter wheel/tire combo in the rear maybe the torque loss due to gearing will even out.
Pics/Review to follow next week. Hopefully the rears will not hit the fender during high loads... we shall see!
