You'll notice the noise eventually. Trust me on that. I've had my KDWs for two summers now. They're still great tires, but if you haven't noticed it yet, you will.

OR, turn up the stereo. (But you beat me to the punch!)

You should be fine with the 225 tire on a 17" rim. I too am curious about his reasoning.

I also am curious. I have 225s on my stock rims and have no problems. As with everybody else, please explain...
