Tires

i was just wondering what kind of tires you guys get after your stockers get bald?

it hard to find any good tires in 215/50 17.

what other size can fit our cars? and if they do fit what the catch? for the different size?

cause i like the michilin pilot a/s but they dont have our size. and also the bridgestone s0-3 they dont offfer our size either.

you can get both those tires in 225/45/17 without problems. your speedo will be off 1% though.

Is the sidewall just about the same size? 50 vs 45 with the tire being a bit wider?

Get the Sumitumo HTR+!!!!!
Best bang for the buck!
I own them and they grip nicer than stock and are quieter than stock. They have it in stock size but you can go 225/45/17 if you want on your stock type-s rim.

They're great alright...until one of them developed a bubble. I just had 1 tired replaced. It was only under 5000 miles.
