I'm looking at tires online and I see there are quite a few 225-40-18 tires, why do some say they are compatible with my car and others aren't.

was looking at a set of 225/40-18 FALKEN ZIEX ZE-612 40R18 R18 40R TIRES but the online tool is saying they aren't compatible with my car.

Rim size is

Size: 18x8
Bolt Pattern: 5-110
Rec. Tire Size: 225/40-18

 

Bump can any one answer this?

 

It will fit, but those tires suck. I have 2 of them and I hate them.

 

Probably not the same speed rating.

 

I have them and I hate them also. Don't waste your money on them.

 

get some 235s, hankook evo v12s

 

Was thinking abotu Goodyear Eagle Gts as the other option V12's are good as well?

 

don't know about the ss/sc wheels, but i know the stock ss/tc wheels are 225/40/18

any tire size with that size will fit. i recommend continetal DW tires.

 

they arent bad i got them twice now, nice looking tire

just do rotations every 3k mark and keeps them fresh, if you get (4)



this info doesnt matter but stock ss/sc - 215/45/18 ss/tc - 225/40/18

i think guys have ran 235-245 on the sc rims and 245-255 on tc ones

and keep in mind some tires even tho they are the same size on paper they can run a little bigger

i know nittos run a bit bigger

 

this...

some tires also have a rim protector which may "widen" it a bit

 

If its for the 2008, some tires might be excluded based on Chevy's requirement of a V rating (minimum).
