Yeah, so this question has probably been asked 9,000 times.

...but I can't seem to use the search function in the forum, and going back a few pages I didnt see anything obvious, so...

I'd like to replace these laughable excuses for stock tires that are currently on my 2002 with another brand I prefer. I've had good experiences with the Yoko AVS ES-100s before, but I see several people in this forum recommending the Falken Ziex ZX-512.

But, I'd like to upgrade to a 235 from a 225. I don't know the stock 17" wheel size offhand, but I've heardthat this works? Is it a 235/50/17 or a 235/45/17? If it's a 235/45/17, how much speedometer error can I account for?

Is anything over 235 possible (not dangerous) on the stock 17's? 235 is probably where I want to stay, though.

And finally, does anybody have any pics of 225 vs. 235 tires on the stock 17s? Higher?

Thanks!

Quote: I wouldn't go any wider than 225's on a 7.5" wheel. If you insist on going wider, then go with 235/50, they'll be the same diameter as GLE's, 26.3". 235/45 is too small, even for 4th gens.
Yeesh. You run 17x9's with 265s? No rubbing? Rolled fenders? I'm assuming a similar set up would apply on a 2002. Maybe I'll stick with the stockers until I want to drop/get new wheels.

What springs?
