For proper speedo readings get the 225/45/17. The 235 is big fat tire. You would have to role your fenders I beleive and they are heavier as well. IMO

no more 420A

only 4G63

Ok, so the votes are 2-1 so far, 2 in favor of 225's. Hades voted for 235's and Jen and Grashper for 225s. Any other opinions???

I ran the calculation a long time ago and closest to stock diameter was 215/45R-17 which is what I run. 225/45R-17 would work also without really mesing up the speedo. Other sizes will have an adverse effect on the accuracy of your seepdometer.

225's it is then. Might also ask the Discount Tire Guru's what they think. So all this time, my speedo wasn't accurate? I've had these tires on for a month already coz that's what they came with. Anyways, this is good news then, since I could get the Nitto's then. O btw, another question, Nitto's or Kumho's?
