Falken Wildpeak on 17 or 18" ?

[FerrisBFW]

It shouldn't be possible to have the same error at all speeds. The extra distance travelled will increase as a percentage so the speedo error will change too.


That's unusual. I've read a lot of these 235/65/17 threads and the only time that I recall the speed being more than 1 mph out (at high speeds) was on a 16" chassis.

okay, last post on the subject. at about 30 its actually doing 32, at 70 its about 75

Hi all,

Just as some extra info which may be useful

I find willtheyfit.com very helpful when trying to match summer/winter wheels of different diameters, together with different tyre options.

Please see image below of a stock size (235/55/17) vs the Falken Wildpeaks in 235/65/17, and also vs a 235/60/17 option, (Cooper Discoverer ATT) which is closer to stock.

"Will they fit" is a useful tool. Just don't take too much notice of the alleged speedo errors!!

Dont even think about other tyres. Wildthingy's are amazing tyres, summer, snow, wet, just go and buy them

I must have got a bad batch as personally I find them sketchy in the wet and I havent even had proper wet yet LOL Maybe its just the Italian roads.

Happy to have the spare as a normal (non-AT) whatever will fit best in the carrier and also keep rolling diameter close to 235/65/17 wildpeaks.

Yeah have also read alot about 235/65/17 being the limit before speedo starts undereading, maybe you were originally specced with 16s? @FerrisBFW
