EUDM - LEGEND and USDM RL Tyre Size Difference
Hi,
Time to replace my wheels. In Europe Legend's run on 235-50-17s but as I know 245-50-17 for RL's.
That increases diameter about %1.5 if I change to 245-50-17.
Are there any transmission or else differences between Legend and RL? If not, is it okay to prefer 245?
Thanking in advance.

As long as all 4 tires are the same, you won't have any issue.

Acceleration won't be affected. Actual MPG won't change either, but the car's calculations will be based on a slightly different tire diameter. Still, I am willing to bet this difference is so small that it is within the margin of error of the sensors. I always found my RL MPG calculations to be about 1 MPG higher than reality.
