I have 17s on my 94 GXe with 225/40 tires and no rubbing at all, I love em.

Performance tires won't last as long as all-weather tires, but it all depends on how hard you are on them. Drive like a "normal" person and the tires should last you a long time.

your 225/40/17s will not last as long as a tire that was meant for your rim. you should be running with 45 as your sidewall. oops.

 

Normal? Is that even possible?

 

Why do you think I put the quotes around normal

 

you will feel the road more since the tire is a low profile tire, less cushion to absorb the bumps.

 

i only drive "normal" when i know there is a cop lurking around.....other than that......."i wonder if can take that right hand turn at about 45mph before the light changes....."
ah wells.....
