Best size rear tire

[toolie]

I have looked at consumer reports on tire ratings and there are some promising reports on General Altimax and Vredestin Quadtrac . These the two I am looking at.
I was looking at 215/60 but after Peters post I am leaning towards 225/60. Will probably order on Monday.
Defiantly considering wet traction.
Thanks

The RT43, and the Q-5 are both very good .... ( but the Q-5 is the better of the two ) ............ 225/60 ????? is this a typo ???? .... Mike

No typo Peter is running this size because of the high heat in his country. I also have triple digit temps here in the Rio Grande Valley.

Rear tire

Thanks for all the replies on tires. After all the googling I just ordered a Vredestin Quatrac 5 205/65R15.
It’s just a tire and I was overthinking the whole process
Thanks

Both Peter and I like 17-18 psi for any auto tire used for the rear ..... an auto tire is way stronger than any Kenda, and will support any driver passenger weight that does not exceed BRP specs ...... Mike :thumbup:

Anyone know what size auto tire would best correct the speedometer
Thanks

On my fronts, I’m running the Vredesteins which makes no speedo difference, and on the rear I’m running the stock Kenda’s and no matter what speed, my speedo is 2 km/h faster than what my GPS reads....this with 7,500 kms on the rear tire. ie my speedo reads 102 km/h and my GPS 100, my speedo 52 and my GPS 50....and at 2 km/h, who cares? I’ll be rid of the Kenda when this rear is shot. I’ll see what is readily available when that time is close....the Vredestein’s are a P I A to find here in Western Canada. I had to go to Quebec to find any.

Oh, and I know this an old post I’m replying to.

OLD?!? :yikes: . This thread isn't OLD!! :gaah:

Why, it's only a young'un - after all, it's very first post was even put up this year!! :lecturef_smilie: (Well, March 22, at least according to the date/time stamp I can see!! )

So the whole thing's only been going less than 4 months!!! :clap: Most threads aren't even adolescent until they've got 30 or more posts &/or they've been around the place for about 6-8 months and they generally don't qualify for the 'old' label until they've been left lying around, lonely & untouched, neglected & bereft of any more replies for at least 12 months &/or until they've had at least one kindergarten style 'sandpit hissy fit' :banghead: But I do hafta admit that the 'hissy fit' type threads do tend to get old a whole lot quicker'n most!! :cus:

Still, this thread's just a veritable Spring Chicken! hyea: :thumbup: :yes:
