nobody has mentioned my size tire, i bought the car with 225/55/R17 its a taller tire so its feels a tad smoother than my friends stock 225/50/R17 other than that it sucks for cornering especially when i had coilovers on them. but for stock driving they work great, and i see they fill the stock wheel gap better aswell.

nobody mentioned that size because its the wrong size tire by almost 3.5% (25.86" height vs. 26.75")

So you have an incorrect speedometer reading and poor handling in the turns.
