anyone running 245/45/17 on stock rimms? i'm looking to put this size on but i hope it doesn't mess up the speedometer or anything like that.

 

what brand and model is everyone recommending?

 

alot of people run 245/45.17 on stockers to preven curbing the rims. Alot of members prefer the Pirelli P Zero Nero All season tires. These stick very well to the road and are good in rain and dry.

 

yea the P zero nero is a good choice

 

I have Pzero M&S on my Apsec rims. I love them.

 

thanks guys! are 245/45/17 good for the speedometer? does this size alter anything with the speedometer?

 

It will throw the speedometer off, but not significantly. There's a link to an online calculator somewhere in the forum but I can't find it at the moment. Perhaps someone else has the link.

thanks!

 

I was considering the P Zero Nero's in the 245/45/17 on stock rims.

However, my tire guy just couldn't recommend them to me. He told me he had yet to have anyone yet come back to him and rave about any of their tires to him or his staff.

He liked the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S, Yokohama Avid's (?), and the Cooper Zeon Sport A/S. I went with the Cooper Zeon's due to their snow and wet capabilities. For a 400 AA-A tire they were a lot cheaper then the Mich's and are not too bad of a looking tire either.

However, I have yet to put many miles on them andwill provide feedback as I break them in ..................

 

sounds good, thanks.
