Picked her car up today. A quick 20 minute handover and spoke to the guy about apparent different tyres.

He said BYD are fitting Conti Contact 6's to vehicles for certain markets, depending on the importer.

So none for Australia at this time.

The Contis are 235/50/18 vs Atlas Batman's at 215/55/18.

Theres a lot of close size options for this car. Few nicer options in the 235/50's.

Same rims though? Surely they’d be wider rims with 235?

Not for 10mm either side. Don't know how Mrs BMX drives, but that would put a bit more rubber between rim and curb.

Good chance to correct the speedo if it needs it.

Bouncing 31" 4WD tyres of late but I have a vague recollection her old Lancer wheels were a fuckin mess :rolleyes:

Isn't keeping the tyres pumped up your job, or the hellions now? That's how my wife rolls ;)
Pair o hallions are working, girls, cars etc... it's surprising the turn around when you have to pay for your own fuck ups. Missus has never llistened or learned from day one :rolleyes:

Yeah that 5mm on both sides will be noticeable :rolleyes: ;)
It really is… Going one size over the right size of a rim width is noticeable in the handling, two makes the tyre perform very soggily indeed. Especially on a heavy car.

Side walls don’t perform properly.

You have been reading the last few comments though?

I know quite intimately the roads @ozzybmx drives. The right tyre is noticeable to you, me and probably Ozzy. Mrs BMX? I'm not so sure
