getting new tires today for my 04, right now i have 235/45/17 on stock wheels. anybody go wider than that? or maybe lower profile or higher? just looking for some feedback before i go this afternoon. thanks for your input!!

nope id leave them just the way they are but go with pirellis or Goodyear f1's if u can afford the all season ones.....i got the pzero neros and they are wicked in the rain..... people also like falkens which are good too. if u go too wide or to high in profile it messes with ur gas mileage.

wider is possible, i think i have seen as wide as 255. i think there is actually a thread titled "why you should put 255 on stocks..." or something like that.

i would not go low profile unless you plan a big drop, all you will do is open up a bigger gap between the tire and the car

blk good to know.....ill look into it for the next round of tires.

thanks....ill check out what my tire shop has in stock...still unsure about going wider even after reading the extensive thread on it. i guess when im under pressure at the counter ill make that decision.....

dude compare ur tire shop prices with the prices on discountire.com they should price match or come close discount tire also delivers for the same prices advertised...nothing extra unless u get next day or 2nd day

yeah my shop is good like that, they have alot in stock and he always gives me the best price....really i just need to decide if i should go wider or not, im not convinced its the best idea.

245/45x17 works for me. the girlfreind has a harder time scraping curbs w/ the rims.

i'm very happy w/ goodyear eagle f1 so far (<1k miles).

i was ok w/ bridgestone pole position s-03's until they got very near the wear bars and got very noisy.

btw, i went w/ the stock size for snow tires (on oe rims).
