Re: Those that are running a 235/X/17 tire, please read Posted by Gordon [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Those that are running a 235/X/17 tire, please read, turbo5spd, Sun, 23 May 2004 07:59:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I upgraded to 235's last year. I was dealt a mean dose of reality when it was confirmed 45 series tires will only get you about 20K miles. I was hoping the larger tire would get me a few more miles but after about 10K it does not appear that will happen. I opted for a more affordable tire brand since these are not cheap. I noticed an improvement in handling and ride but there is more road noise. It could be the cheap tires. I hope to go with Michelins next time. There is a minimal loose of torque but since I have an auto I hardly noticed it.
I do not have any photos for you but the tires fit and look great. I am glad made the change. I think the 235 fit on the 8" rims better since I am not a fan of the wheel sticking out past the tire sidewall. Especially since ny wife scrapped a curb the first month we had the car.
