Default Re: Rear tire size/limp mode?

all my testing was street tires on the street, as i was checking ratios, and limp mode ,like what you ask,,
always my drag radials and drag slicks were 255/50-16 and is 10.0 wide and 26.0 tall. the drag slicks ,with radials on the front ,,,don't do it ,makes the car wonder, and at 130 that is one of the last things you want., My street tires are hankook 275/35-19 at 26.6 tall,, a lot of people run 285/35-19 --26.9 tall street. the only thing i found in a 25.68 is a 245/50-16 which is 25.7 tall but only is 9.6 wide.
here is nitto website I found a 245/ 50 16 is 9.6 wide,, 4.8 sidewall,,25.7 tall
