Default 215/45 on a 17
My 205/45/17's have lived their life. Will I notice any difference if I step up to a 215/45 ?? I want a little more surface, and a bigger side wall. Will these at least look decent? I'm runnin' the TeRD spring & 17x7 on '05 xA.

Cheers,
SA

It's only 10mm. About 3/8th on an inch. You probably would not even see the difference.

I like the look of the 215 series over the 205 series...A "little" wider tire for a better looking staance...I run a 215/40/17 but will be changing to a 215/45/17 when they need replacing...

I'm running 215/45/17s, and I'm very happy with them! I totally recommend them over the 205/40s.
