What tires would you recommend?
I purchased a new set of WedsSport TC105X wheels - this is a new size that became available this year.
17 x 8.5 +43 I want to get Michelin Pilot Sport 4S - they come in the 2 sizes that I'm considering: 225/45/17 245/40/17 I would prefer 235's but Michelin does not sell this size. Which size of tire would you recommend? I appreciate your feedback. |

The 225s are likely a better width for the car but will ever so slightly have a negative effect on acceleration (25" vs 24.7" diameter).
The 245s would have the exact same diameter as 215/45, so no effect on gearing/acceleration. I'd go with 245s in a heartbeat. Last edited by Interlocker; 04-12-2019 at 11:48 AM. |

225 is a perfect tire width for 8" wide wheels.  -Sam |
