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

QUOTE are those the fast and the furious rims, or did those have more spokes?? anyways looks good man You mean the Axis se7ens. No those aren't Axis, but they look just like them. Looks good, Makes me want to ditch my 205/40's for some bigger tires, but I will just wait until I can burn all the tread off. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
