Using Goodyear F1 A2 on 325, 17" with staggered config?

[sillycarx]

Hey Folks,have anyone use the Goodyear F1 A2 on 325 with 17" staggered configuration because, for the Fronts you have the 225/45R17 but for the back F1 A2 doesn't have 255/40/R17 they only have a 245/40/R17. So will the difference in ratio be a problem? Any recomendation? Thanks!Jen Sen

was running on that configuration for some 30+k mileage.was good,although i think the 10mm will make quite a difference during corners.
i missed the 255 width.
solution? Upsize to 18" :-D

So the Goodyear F1 A2 only give you 30k mileage?

In fact i believe its closer to 40k and some few thousand km remaining.
Given how hard my 320d is being driven,id say the wear is good.definitely better than the stock BSRE050a RFT

Just got my 245/40r17 ( Goodyear F1 A2) for my rears... I realiezed that my drive seems a little Bouncy (especially on Penang's bad bumpy roads due to roads built on reclaimed land)... I am not sure you guys feel that too... Maybe my tire pressure is too high. I am running 250 rear and 220 fronts. I might want to lower the rears a little more...

How many km on the stock BSRE050a RFT you got? Mine currently at 24k. Look like it can go for another 10k then need to change. Look like there aren't much option and much shop carrying the suitable tyres for the 225 and 255. Start looking for the right tyres.

my previous RFT survived +-20k with one prematurely punctured beyond repair.
But then again,even though it looked like the thread can go a little further,you can already tell its time to change when it started swaying on the rear end when u corner at hi speed.
