Look for this in the 5th gen FAQ's

Rims and Tires:
What tire size can I use?
Can I run oversized tires on my stock 17" SE Rims?
5th Gen Tire Comparison, 17" tires
What tire sizes besides 225/50R17 can I safely run on my OEM rims?
In defense of running 235/45R17 tires on 5th Gen OEM rims

I can vouch for the P zero neros m s, I have them in 235-40/18 on my 4th gen, but those do not come in 225-50/17, only 235-45/17 which can be read about in those threads, as far as stock wheel width and circumference is concerned.

 

No best AM all season tire for the money than Falken Ziex 512's IMO- will be getting my second set soon.....put 35K on this one and still plenty of meat left and capable of +75-80 mph easy in the rain

 

Before I got 19's, I put 235/45-17 Falken Azenis ST-115's on my stock SE 17"
rims. They fit perfectly, and definitely made my Max handle better. Why go back to 225/50's when you can have 235/45's !!

 

If your looking to keep your stock size of 225/50/17 then you should definately get falken ziex512

 

falkens huh? figured why not put a wider tire on right? 235/45 aint so bad.. ima look into the falkens.. the pirellis hava good rating.. tryin to decide which ones.. falken? pirelli? hmm

 

Falkens are cheaper, no?

I have the Falken ZEIX 512s.... 235/45/17 on my stock rims... love em so far... awesome dry and wet traction and I'm waiting to try em out in the snow....

Good places are www.tirerack.com and www.edgeracing.com or if you can find someone local to hook ya up....

 

Here's a list that will answer every question you can think of, and then some.

For the love of god, PLEASE at least make an attempt at looking for the answer before posting a question.

 

Tirerack Does Not Sell Falkens

 

So how much did you guys pay for your Falkiens and where did you get them. And 2k2Kev, have you not figured out by now that alot of those threads have outdated information! Damn some of you guys are hard on people you just waisted space by posting what did you asswipe!

 

My bad... I didn't get em online anyways... just knew tirerack was a good site for rims and tires.... I got em at a local Merchant's....

 

Send a PM to Fashizl, tell him I referred you... he works at the Merchant's on Route 1 in Alexandria, close to Fort Belvoir... I got my tires from him and he does a lot of work for us Org-ers in Northern VA.... I think he has 2 3rd Gens and a 4th Gen himself....

 

You guys? You didn't mean me too did you?

Each and every one of the ones I posted are active.

Outdated or not they still have the answers to the questions he asked.

I'm not hard on people, nor did I waste space because people still tend to post the same stuff over and over again, adn this is a prime example, so in the long run, I was trying to save space.

No name calling please.

 

NmexMax and 2k2kev have a point... even though some of those FAQs are old, they are still applicable and are still a rich source of information for everyone.... its actually pretty sucky how newer folks "blame" others for directing them to "old" FAQs that they could have gone to themselves first, but that actually address many of the very very commonly asked questions raised here....

 

Waisted

There's a tire section, go read it. Using your logic everyone should post a new thread every time they have a question, because "things change all the time!"

 

ok done and done.. i think ima go wit the falkens on the stockies.. i read the FAQs.. great info.. sorry for startin a fued.. err.. anyways.. yeah.. read it.. all makes sense.. i figured 225/50/17 falken zeix 512 are the way to go for the stockies.. and 245/40/18 are good if i can jus find an 18x8 or 18x8.5..

 

Good info! I go through a set a year (just bought new Pilot Sports, again, for $1,100, again...but I like 'em!). I'll be contacting him next fall I'm sure!
