I know many of you run 235/45/17 on your CL's....Before I pull the trigger on a set, can I get some feedback?

1. performance? handling?
2. preferred brands?
3. MPG? good bad? no change?
4. looks? I have seen some pix of Fuzzycl's car and they look sweet...feel free to post yours!
5. wild card! say anything you want about them!


always welcomed

 

Don't think there's much more to say that hasn't been covered.

 

hey fuzz...can you send me that link to your car? i want to look at it again

 

see sig...

 

what about 40 series tires?

 

You only want 40 if your running 18's. The correct size for 18" is 235-40-18.
You could run a 40, but your drop better be damn low cause a 40 will leave mega wheel gap.

 

I have 235/45/17. I have Goodyear F1 All Seasons. I love these tires. I don't know if I have lost Gas Mileage, I'm waiting till summer to see. The Grip on these tires is insane, and they work really good in the snow.

 

thanks for the feedback everyone !
im really short on Cash right now so I ordered a set of Sumitomo HTZ's or something like that!
Cant wait till i get them!

235/45/17
im really excited to go on my first canyon run with new tires!


and thanks again Fuzzy for all ur help and knowledge! youre awesome!

 

Hey Fuzzy, did you have any problems getting them mounted on your stock wheels? Only reason I'm asking is because every where I look online says you need a minimum 7.5" wide wheel. I'm going to need new tires in the summer and my Accord 6mt has the same size stock wheels as the CL-S, 17x7, but I want to go with the 235/45s instead of the 215/50s. I'm planning on going to Discount Tire so I'm just wondering if they're going to give me a hard time about the wheels not being wide enough.

 

Nope. And that's with 3 different sets of stock Acura 17's & 4 different brands of tires.

 

Good to know. Thanks man.

 

just got my meats in!

gonna put them on Sat morning! and ill report back then for those who are interested.
