quick tire question
i've got 17x7 wheels. Im needing tires bad! I dont care about high performance. Can someone give me some advice on what i should get. Im more concerned about treadwear to be honest. I dont want low profile tires though. What size, width...etc do you suggest? Thanks guys!

Re: quick tire question
if you wanted to be OEM spec, i would suggest getting 205/40/17.
if you wanted a little better ride quality, i would get 205/45/17 or (for a fatter tire) i would get 215/45/17
falken 912 are good tires with good tredwear...and they are pretty quiet as well.

Re: quick tire question
i used the tire calculator we used to have on here and it said that 215/45/17's matched my stock tires as close as possible.. i've been riding with those ever since.. my stock tires were 185/65/15's
