Anybody run this tire on the rear? Does the width clear? This tire would add two inches in width (one inch on each side) From what I can see I think I'm going to order some and give it a try. It's 2 inches shorter so the speedo will be off by about 6% |

Dunlops are a much better choice, ride is doubled with pleasure(way better ride). They don't hook up as well as the stockers, I think the Dunlops look way better. There is already to much tire on the rear of the stock tired prowlers. JMO ------------------ |

Don't get me wrong. I really had to drive the deal to go 12.7, rolled out very easy for 6-8 feet, 60 ft times sucked with a 1.91 was my best. 13 lbs of boost BTW. ------------------ |

I had wanted to put the same size rear tire the concept car had, which I believe was a 315/40/20 (?). Where can you get the 345/25/20 at? ------------------ MTD Prowler Intake System 2.2 |

My only concern if the tire fits is that the car might look a little "off" with the tire being two inches shorter. Would have to get a shorter front tire also and then have the car lowered 2 inches. Who makes a lowering kit for the Prowler? |

343, no one as of yet on the lowered deal. I thinks we need to be patient, more 20" tires should be produced in the future, ya think? |

Just a Note : The Electronic Ratio Adapter that was used with the G-Force gears to adjust the speedo can be set to compensate for tire size changes as well. ------------------ TonyG@ProwlerOnline.com |

Has anyone gone to larger sizes? Please post if so. I would also like to go to wider sizes. Mostly for looks, but I think the car will brake slightly better with wider fronts. ------------------ |

quote: I went with the stock size in the rear for the time being until I find a larger size I like. I had ordered 235/45ZR17 tires for the front but cancelled my order when Tire Rack contacted me to inform me it was not a recommended size. I do intend to put 235/45ZR17 on the front within the next couple months. They are .9" wider and only .4" taller than stock. ------------------ MTD Prowler Intake System 2.2 |

Bill, Sounds like we are on the same wave length. I too would like to go with 235/45 up front, just wondering if it will rub in any way. ------------------ |

Trust me on this, if you go with a wider tire on the front, the car WILL dart around more. It will follow every surface and rut change in the road. I have a LOT of experience with larger and wider tires and the front end will suffer. The rears are no problem. JRL |
