I, like most people, am short on funds. I need tires but can't afford new. I found a set of used tires at a decent price. Does anyone know if I will have any problems with these tires?
One pair is 225/45/17 and the other pair is 205/40/17. Both are matching brands just different sizes.
Thanks in advance! |

| I don't think I'd recommend ever running 2 different sizes like that. Especially when they're not even really that close. |

^ yeah. I'd keep the same sidewall all around the car (45 is stock) and at least 215 in width (215 is stock width)
The 225/45/17 is fine but I wouldn't recommend the 205/40/17.
Keep looking. |

| That's a difference of over 5 inches in circumference. We don't put that much stagger on our oval cars. Danger, Will Robinson! |
