Thread: Cooper 255/55/19 LTZ on RRS

Well what happens when the coopers have 85% wear and one gets a flat, do you then put on a brand new cooper tyre that is your only spare? I would be asking the question? Is the different diameter going to make the sky fall down.

Cheers

YES...

So the solution is to regularly do a 5 wheel rotation....

And YES, you should have 5 matching tyres or you can break the car!

The RRS standard tyre is 255/50R19, so a bit of a difference in diameter - more than that between a worn and new tyre!

Thanks for the above.
Should the ltz fit on the narrower rim and both should fit under the car ok?

What do you mean "narrower rim"? Your rim should be 19x8 or 19x8.5, both fine for your LTZ.

Yes, it will fit under the the car fine.

You just need to stick with the same method....left or right. I go right, and remind my tyre guy each time.

So far I have only positive things to say about the LTZ as I have been to Chambers Pillar and the Bungles with them and the roads were shockers with sharp rocks and VERY rough. The car performed brilliantly with the ediff and the tyres are unmarked. (255/55/19)
I now have a lot of confidence in them for very poor tracks.
