I would suggest going with the 205/45/17. They have a little lower sidewall, so not as big a profile. Plus they're about $10 cheaper a tire, depending on where you go. I have 'em, and as soon as I find someone with a digital camera I can borrow, I'll get some pics for ya. Hope that helps ..

Cheers! [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

2 cute's ride I have 205/40ZR17 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712.

<< would suggest going with the 205/45/17. They have a little lower sidewall, so not as big a profile >>

Uh no the way the tire size works is for example taking 215/40/17 the 17 is the size of the rim. The 215 is the width and the 40 is the height of the side wall. So going to a 205/40/17 will take away from the width not the size of the sidewall. Honestly you are better off going with 215/45/14 rather than the 40 series tire. You have a little more cushion that way.

I have Kumho Ecsta Supra's on my baby. They are very nice tires, and they won't empty your wallet.

GBC has these tires for $299 for a set of 4 plus shipping. That is the best I have seen lately.
