I'm new to the forum and just posted this in Tires, then I realized there's no one there to see it. Please pardon me for posting twice.

I'm looking to replace the original Potenzas (49K) on my 2002 SE with good all weather tires. A tire dealer recommended Nokians for really good traction, even though they are 225 55 17 - not the stock 225 50 17 size. Any information you can give me on using the Nokians in that size would be appreciated. Thanx . .
