What Tire Do You Run on Your 17`s?

[Jus14]

I currently have Fuzion ZR1s because i got all four for 100 brand new,but i really like Yokohama Prada Spec 2`s or maybe like a neo gen and my all weather favorite is Kuhmo...If anyone has any of these tires kinda want to know how the feel and ride on a versa? also the size i run is 215/40/17

i have heard nothing but good comments from friends of mine that have yokohama S-drives... they tell me theyre good in wet and dry conditions... as far as the neo gens go, i have a set on my 20's and i like them very much... they seem to be well behaved... but i want look more into NT-05's from nitto...

they seem fine, they came on the rims when i bought them & got about 80% tread left so i'll be using them for a while

Are the 205/50/17 Falken ZE329 good to run on 17s?

[VersaMG08]

Also...what about the Falken FK 452? That is another 205/50/17 tire...

I just got some Konig Heliums measured at:+40 offset17x 7.5500kg

so what tire would fit on them?

are the tires with 205 in the beginning low profile tires?My V is lowered on Tanabe Coilovers and with the lip so I don't think I want the low profile ones.

I'll answer your second question first:Tire sizes work like this:205-65-15205 is the width of the tread in milimeters.65 is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width. So this tire has a sidewall that's 65% of 205mm in height. So a lower MIDDLE number is what you're looking for for low profile. But since that middle number is a percentage of tread width, the sidewall heights of a 205-65 and a 185-65 are not the same. The 185-65 has less sidewall height.And of course 15 is the wheel diameter.

Now onto your wheels. 25mm is 1 inch. With a 7.5 inch wide wheel, I would recommend either a 225 or 245 tire width. 245-45-17 is an excellent tire size that's low-profile and very very common. 225-45-17 is another good option.

I just lodked at my wheel and it is actually 17x7 so would a 205/45/17 be alright

[reyes1212]

Would my tires rub if I get anything past 235?I'm lowered and with 18's and 225, i'm just a bit paranoid and lost on what tires to get for my 17x 7

[reyes1212]

Would this tire fit on my 17x7s?http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories

205 is really narrow for a 7 inch wide wheel. Usually 205 isn't used on anything wider than 6 inches.

Probably 225-45-17 would be good. That puts you very close to the same rolling diameter as the OEM Versa tires.
