Quick tire question

[Q_SHIP]

I just ran across a set od decent used Blizaks.

I have 225/50 17's now.

How would a

235/45/ 17 work?

They'd be a little too short. 255/45 x 17 is a perfect 26". 235/45s are only 25.3 inches. Your 225/50 x 17s are 25.9".

Really doesnt look to bad just for the winter though.

Yeah, 3% too short is doable, especially for winter. Careful about TSC and ABS though - put 'em on all four wheels, or you'll drive the systems crazy.

Theyre not that sensitive... Dont worry about it...

I ran 225-60-15s and 215-65-15s one year.. it didnt make a bit of difference, the important thing is to put the ones on the BACK that are closest to stock OD
