Well i need to buy some new tires and i can't decide btwn the 40series and the 45 series. The guy at the shop told me he won't sell me 45 series cuz my car's recommened size is w/ the 40.
I've had 45 and i like em, hows do the 40's compare in ride and performance. the dude told me that the 40 is a wider tire due to the smaller sidewall. T or F??? Since were on the subject...anyone ever try Kumho Ecsta SPT's before. I've read some good reviews on em. i might get those instead of the usual toyo proxes fz4. thanks dave |

PERSONALLY speaking... no bigger than 215/45 on a 17x7 or 7.5 wheel... 225/40 or 45 on a 17x8. 215/40 on a 17x7 is OK also...
