Are you kidding me? At every corner, bam! IT just grips!
Yea every wide tire brings down the mph by like 2 mph....its natural

255/45/17. Isn't that the wrong ratio for our cars?


If they were 245/40's I'd be all about it. My pzeros are hurting.

Just for clarification, the set up I had was 255/40/17, which almost had a 1:1 match with the stock diameter. Since the ones for sale in this thread are a little bigger, you'll be accumulating less mileage on your odometer and going faster than what the speedometer is reading.

And yeah, by rails I mean grips like a beast.
