Just got a set of new 17" rims. They are 17*7.5 offset 40. Can anyone recommend some good 4 season tires?? Thanks!!

 

Kumho Ecsta if you wanna save some money and have decent all around performance. I don't know how good they are in the snow, they seem to be decent in the rain so far.

 

DO NOT use these in the snow or cold winter like tempatures.

Since you said 4-sea, Sumitomo HTR+. Otherwise Yoko ES100. If you get snow you should wait until spring to mount the rims unless the current tires are shot.

 

I second that Sumitomo HTR+ reccomendation
best tire for the money.

225/45/17 are 99$ each from tirerack
235/45/17 are 102$ each

 

dunlops are nice

 

Amen.

just bought a set of 225/45/17 HTR+'s on monday for my 5th gen 17's, but tirerack called me today and told me they wont be in until dec. 4th, guess i'll have to wait to get these crap potenzas off

 

235/45 R17 Bridgestone Potenza RE950, thank me later.

 

Thanks for all your inputs..

If I put 234/45/17 tire on 17*7.5 offset 40 rim, will it rub?

Also, will it looks weird if I go for 215/50/17 on 17*7.5 rim?? Many shops recommend Dunlops SP Sport A2 215/50/17 tires. Are they good?

 

The A2's are awsome tires, but isn't that the wrong size for 4th gens?

 

I've tried Yokohama Parada 225/45/17
I've tried Nitto NT 450 225/45/17
I currently have Sumitomo HTRZ-II 235/45/17

I say the Sumitomos are the best that I've tried. Nittos are scary in the rain, but pretty good on dry pavement.
Paradas are ok overall, but pretty loud on the highway.
Sumitomos kick *** on dry pavement, and very good in rain.

 

That is exactly what I run, no rubbing. It is probably the most popular tire and rim size on the org.

 

requin, are you putting these on stock wheels?
