>Sounds like a plan then.

I'll be going with the Sumitomo HTR Z III tires, 225/45/17. I get them at my work for $350 a set, with road hazard and lifetime balance.

EDIT: Also, can anyone show me up close pictures of that tire size on their car? I want to see if clearance would be an issue for me, as I'm lowered 1.5" all around.

I was lowered on Tein S-techs with no problems. but, sumitomo's? all I need to say is you get what you pay for. I had Dunlop Direzza DZ101's. still a pretty inexpensive tire, but are still a really good tire from a good name brand. another good tire around that price range that I was considering is the BF goodrich G-force sports. I've never heard a bad thing about them from all the people that I've talked to that have had them.

Mine are 17x7, will this be an issue?

one time at my work we mounted some 245/40/17's onto 17x7 wheels for a brand new '08 WRX. Not only was it incredibly difficult to get that tire to air up, it looked like total crap! the tire hung out past the edge of the rim by a good 3/4 of an inch. which is what the other guy meant by "a little roll". but a 225/45/17 will fit on a 17x7 no problem, it might look a little wide for the wheel, but not too bad. it would look just right on a 7.5 inch wheel, and is the minimum recommended width for an 8 inch wheel.

if you want a stiff tire get some bridgestone potenza's

From what I've read, it's only a few mm bigger overall. And you don't know Sumitomos, do you? The HTR Z III ranks #1 in it's class. Here's a link:

So are you saying the 225 is a good or bad choice?

EDIT: What do you guys recommend as far as tire pressure goes?

I use the regular Federal 205/55R15 and they seem great if you shop around they can be cheap.

they'll fit, you may just encounter some rubbing during full lock steering.

anybody know if I can manage to fit 215/65-16 in my wheel wells? just curious, its 27" diameter for those who are interested...stock size is 24.46" diameter


edit: I guess I could just take the radius of that and measure it against the distance between my hub and lower strut mount huh? maybe I'll try that

They will not fit. A 215/55/16 would be really close at 25.3". gl

I am noob with tires...actually cars in general. But I am learning more and more.

Anyways, I need 4 tires all the way around. I have an ST hatchback. All these tire size numbers everyone has confuse me.

I want a good tire for mostly city traffic with occasional freeway miles, and good enough for 3 hour drives to SF and LA.

Around here i know i can get cool promotional deals like 4th tire for free, or get a free allignment, etc etc.

so my question is, I need to know the tire size for these stock wheels

the first number is the tire size in mm front to back of the rim, the second number is a ratio. the height of the sidewall compared to the first number. the last number is the rim size in inches...

expamle.

205/50-16

the tire is 205 mm wide. the height of the sidewall is 50% of the 205. the rim is 16"

get an all season tire. look at tread wear. go to tirerack.com and educate yourself. there is a wealth of info there!
