235/45/17 or 225/45/17 ?!?!?!?!?!
OK guys...after reading SEVERAL threads...I have decided on the above sizes for a set of stock 17" rims on my 4th gen.
I have also narrowed my tire search to the Continental ContiExtremeContact...after reading MANY reviews on TireRack.com.
What do you guys think about the TIRES and the SIZE?????

I had the same questions and best way to figure it out is to compare each size in a chart like this:::
wall height in mm
----40---45---50----55----60
215 86 96.75 107.5 118.25 129
225 90 101.25 112.5 123.75 135
235 94 105.75 117.5 129.25 141
245 98 110.25 122.5 134.75 147
255 102 114.75 127.5 140.25
265 104 119.25 132.5

Tire with in mm
I too have decided the Conti's are the best one tirerack right now. and decently priced too.
225/50/17 is lookin like a nice profile for a nice allseason tire don't you think?
or maybe the 245/45/17, fat and low profile
