[QUOTE="6UE5t, post: 1064712686, member: 103722"] Of course not easy but you need to weigh in the benefit, if it's really worth it for your purpose. If follow like that, you need to do proper research or really want to spend the time to measure before selecting a tire which IMHO just not worth the hassle for street drivers. If you just measure before you mount after purchase, then no point coz you bought the tires already. See for my example, I got 8/9jj rims, so potentially I can use 225/45, 235/45, 245/40, 255/40, 265/40. I also got PS4, V12E2, S1E2, F1A3, CSC5, PZero PZ4, RE003, maybe FK510 in the future for considerations to buy. If really want to follow that theory, I need to survey tire shops that carry those models then measure tires in all those sizes to find the true proper match for my rims width. Measuring using the tape itself might already inconsistent maybe up to +/-2mm. Then how much quicker or better will my car handle if I got the true ideal size compared to just rough guessing it? I can bet not much if any. Furthermore, if say I just choose the tires based on the proper width matching and for example RE003 comes out the best match, should I really go for it instead of say PS4??
