tire question
i don't have my CL type S yet but I was bored and i was thinking of what tires to put on it. I really like Toyos but you have to go like 1 size up. Here's the thing is would i have to reset the speedometer? and would it rub on bumps. i've also herd Nittos are pretty good. but i went to tire rack there's only 3 tires that will fit stock and the one i half way like i doubt if they'll have much longer(bridgestone) cause i think there gonna go under with all the lawsuit problems.

Dude, why do you need new tires, what are going to do with the OEM tires, OEM tires are pretty good, Micheline Tires. Why waste money ? You dont have anything else to spend your money at ? Just give it me, I'll know

Those toyos aren't what you want to be cruising on in the Ohio snow but for the other 3 seasons they'd be great. As for odo/speedo inaccuracies just go down to a 45 profile. Using a 235/45/17 keeps the odo/speedo numbers very very close to stock.
Tangent: Is anybody running 235/45/17 width tires on a lowered 01 CL-S?
Thank you

I'd also like to know if I can use these on my ride, which is lowered by approx. 1" in front and 1.5"in the rear using H&R OE Sports springs. Do-able?
Water-S, I saw these for $161 each at SimpsonWheels. Delivery is extra.
