actually smaller. Stock is 215/40/18 I think. These are 205/45/17. They could be a fraction taller. It sits about as high as my old 3 did on eibach springs. I like the look now I just want wider tires. Traction is already becoming an issue lol

That's cuz your on a snowy road noob!

Get a set of blizzaks for winter, you won't worry about traction.

wider tires = worse traction in winter

they were option 2 for winter tires. I'm running contintnetal extreme winter contact. The blizzaks wear really fast from what I've heard.

I've heard both ways about winter tires. Some people say narrow tires cut througj snow better others say that new tire technology you can run wider tires. Either way these were cheaper lol

[Krandall]

Blizzaks are solid if you keep them off the road when it's 50°+ outside.
I'm on my 2nd year w/ mine on. a lady I work with has had hers for 8 years.

meh....the cost of blizzaks outweigh the return. They are good, but only if it snows ALOT, and it doesn't here

or if you have a sports car with hard and wide tires. I drove a brand new RX7 in the snow. completely useless

[Krandall]

Last year was the first time I've EVER had snow tires. no lies.. I'm a believer.. They are the best thing since sliced bread up here
