I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE 215/45/17 AND 245/40/17 ARE THE WAY TO GO, BUT WILL GETTING A 245/45/17 IN THE REAR LOOK THAT MUCH BIGGER OR WILL IT AFFECT WHETHER OR NOT I RUB? JUST WONDERING B/C THERE IS NO 245/40/17 OPTION FOR THE FALKEN AZENIS RT615 AND I REALLY WANT TO GO WITH THOSE!


thanks

I would do the 215/45R17 front and 245/40R17 rear. If I can help with the tires let me know.

no way i can go wider than 245 without rolling?

thanks Jim

Jim@tirerack

Not with that wheel.

nightcrawler7188

cool. i'll start looking around then!

nightcrawler7188

what can you recommend that's summery but not to the point where i'll die if i go out in the rain? i'm looking to spend ~100 per tire


my current Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions allow me to drive like a madman in the rain and still retain traction, which i love about them.

no way i could get some 225/45-17 and 255/40-17 to fit without rolling? i just found a sweet deal on some.

the 225/255 set up would have a little bulge on those sizes and its hard to find a tire that has ultra high dry grip and wet traction that is around $100. you cant have both...if you liked the RE960AS then get them again, but they're not going to have the "summery" traction like the RE050, RT615, etc.

nightcrawler7188

screw the RE960AS cause i barely even drive when it's inclement weather out...i'll just get something more geared toward summer driving.

thanks for the help on the sizes! looks like 215/45/17 and 245/40/17 are the only way to go for these wheels
