Question Tire Size??

I have a set of tires that my friend wants to sell me but Im not sure if they will work with my 06 TL 6 speed? My original tires that came with the TL are 235/45/17 the one my boys is selling me are Michelin Hydo Edges 225/55/17 will these still fit my TL and look normal or should I not even bother?

I'd pass. They are narrower and taller to the point that you will give up performance and mess up your speedo by about 6% (When speedometer reads 60mph actual speed will be 63.4mph, 5.7% faster) Perhaps enough more to get you a ticket if you think your only doing 70 (but it's really 74)

You will also be even worse off than stock with respect to curb rash potential. The 235's are bad enough 225 will be even worse. If deviating from stock most are pitching a wider tire. Read https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=135535
