yeah, 225 will probably provide you with a better ride than 215 ... i have 215 on my tc rims and i hate how noisey and rough it rides XD

So 40 or 45 or 50 makes a difference. However, these numbers are percentages of the tire width. So 225/45 is higher then 215/45 for example. Get it? By the way, I have 215/40/17 under it, and I think it's ok. But i'm used to a harder ride. I just put on new Uniroyal Rainsport tires, and so far they're doing well, haven't had a chance to test em good. -------------------- 1995 Toyota Celica GT -- 3SGE, 175hp -- Superstrut, LSD
