225-45-17s installed!, pic Options

[lagos]

i just got my 225-45-17 kumho asx installed on my 17x7 rims. the ride quality is a MILLION times better then the horrible 205-40s i had before. the pic dosnt really do them justice, but the car has a bad ass look to it now with these tires. you can also tell that they are a lot wider when looking at the front of the car, and should provide much better traction then the tires i had before.. they even made the car sit about 3/4th of an inch higher (just eyeballing it) and speed bumps are no longer a problem like they used to be. im very happy with them so far

here is a before and after:

old 205-40-17s




new 225-45-17s

Looks good Art. I see you went for the ASX's....not a bad choice of tire. I was undecided about mine for a while, but I realized that alot of my issues were related to an awful alignment, not the quality of the tire.

Great tire for the money....mire were cheap and have kept their tread really nicely.

yeah, i liked the price and they got pretty good reviews on tirerack, thats why i went for them . i figure that most people have something good and bad to say about just about any tire, so i might as well try them for myself.

im very happy with them so far. the ride quality is everything i was looking for, and im getting a lot more traction then i had before. i drove around today looking for pot holes and spped bumps that i used to fear haha these tires are definetly a world of difference from the 205-40s i had before.

here are some more cell phone pics i took today. nothing great, but i thought id share.
