FYI, the B.F. Goodrich g-force T/A KDW2's are a great choice! They have been at the top of our customer survey list for some time now and what a look! If I can be of any help, please feel free to give me a call.

if your looking for something htats great quality at a good price id look into the yokohama avid tire, i dont think its availible in sizes larger than a 17, but you can get 205 40 17s for like 50 usually

Default Yoko or Dunlop

I have been running 215/45/17's for a while, imo the size suits the car well. There is the speedo difference though due to a larger tire than stock.

I had the Yoko Es100's and they were ok, dont get me wrong, the grip during the first 10,000 miles was unbelievable, but after that it was nothing but noise.

I just purchased a set of Dunlop FM901's. hopefully they will be better. The grip is not as good, but it is after all a short bus.

good luck

first of all imo=in my opinion... right?

and u could tell a diff. in speed?... bc it was only like an inch added to the diameter so i wouldn't think u sould see too much of a difference

I like the rims but the way that the seller set up the auction on ebay is really shady. I hope you never have to ask for your money back, $1.00 sale price with $378 shipping! Ebay usually stops these scams becuase they lose alot of listing fees.

So a 215/40 you like better than the 205/45? Why?
