yeah, but the streets are so bad here in NYC...I'm on the side of the road all day if I get those tires...I know someone who rides around NY with 215/35 but I just don't feel comfortable getting them....my drive home from work alone, the roads are crap, if I get those, then I gotta think of detours

I would recommend 17s too. If the roads are bad, you better drive slow and pray for these wheels don't bend.

Yeah thats not a bad deal at all. Well I wish I had got 18" rims now with 215/40 but the prices kept me from going for them since the tires would run me way more to get replaced in the long run. I have 17" Enkei RS6's with 215/45 and the ride is good but kick myself for not going 18". So I will say that even if the roads are kind of bad 215/40 would be your best shot. I would never even get 215/35 since it would throw my speedo off rather lose mileage then gain and also get a little more cushion with a 40. I say good choice
