Hi:
I will be the owner of a white 2012 Pure this Friday
I currently own a Suzuki x-90 that is for sale on ebay.
I hope the Smart car is just as legendary as the Zuk.
By the way, if anyone knows what the tallest tires I can put
on the stock rims are, I would consider them a Guru and thank them.
Sincerely,
Mark F.

I don't know about tires, but I do know about cats. Welcome to the asylum. what kind of spotted little cat do you have?
I am one of the staff that is allowed to live in for cat servicing.

Welcome from Tucson, Az. Enjoy the world of smart.

Welcome! You'd be surprised how many smart owners are prior X-90 owners. Enjoy that car once you get it. They do have a lift kit for them where some people have put taller tires on but they also made a switch to aftermarket rims. If you have the optional wheels on your new car you may not need new factory rims for taller tires but you'll need a lift kit to fit the bigger tires in the wheel wells.

Welcome to the forum!

The forum consensus seems to be 185/60 is the max size, but with a little rubbing on the front. I personally run 195/50 at all four corners now with no problems over the past 50K miles. I'd really like to move to 195/55, but that is an unknown at this point.

Also, it's just not the height, it's the different size issue between front and rear. The fronts are a different size wheel and tire, but many people go to the same size all the way around. You can read more about both topics here:

Just to confuse things even more, the smart's ESP will have a fit if the tires vary too much from the stock circumference so watch that when tire shopping.

I hope the Smart car is just as legendary as the Zuk.

I think in the US the smart is more infamous than legendary, at least at this point.

I think safe to say more people know what a smart IS than know what an x90 is though. But, that's no reflection on the X90 ... which seems pretty cool to me.

A street rod buddy of mine has two X-90's and loves them, yet hates my smart. Go figure...
