[QUOTE="Mark Daskievige, post: 868838, member: 67811"] You got it right , 50 -60 - 70 is width ...the bigger number is height . if you go with a 235 you would be losing height and tire be smaller , also smaller tire would take more resulotions to turn so be losing speed .IE going slower then your speedometer says you are . My 94 dodge <bought used>originally had 14 inch rims and someone had swapped for 15 inch rims and larger tires . I was going 5-10 miles faster at higher speeds then speedometer was saying didnt even know it till i got a few warning tickets for speeding and talking to the cops .You'd probably want to get speed recalibrated after changing tires . As for the ride it might seem a little firmer/harder of a ride . think of Low riders ... they always feel the bumps harder once they go to lower profile tires , but dont think it would be as bad as that .
