tire size?

[ryhi]

i am in need of new tires....my rims are 17x8....the tires i have on now are 235.40.17 ... is this the only size i can fit on it? can i get something with 215 or 205?

[ryhi]

what size would i get if i wanted something that would have a lower profile? will 205.40.17 fit my rims and have a lower profile than it has now? what are the positives and negatives of the different sizes?? should i stick with 235? sorry for n00b question.

If you get 205 tires then you're tire will be more skinnier.
235 = width 40 = profile 17 = size.

Do you want wider tires or you want lower profile?
And you're a part owner of Dunlop, Perilli, Bridgestone tires and you don't know which one to get? LOL!!!!

[ryhi]

i dont mind...i just want to know if it will fit....cuz 205s are much more cheaper than 235s....so there must be a big difference ??

haha... and im actually looking into getting kumhos

I guess you got 17x7 wheels right? If you got that rim size I would go for 215x40x17 at least.

I would discourage you with the Kumhos tires.

whats wrong with kumhos? i know NOTHING about tires...(as u can see) im leaning towards kumhos because of the price....

i think i have 17x7.5.. i have the amg mono replicas...

I rather go for Yokohamas rather than Kumhos. Kumhos are loud and not too soft.

Jre i like the Kuhmos. They are only noisy when you acually listen. My music or exhaust usually drowns out the humm of the tires though. Kuhmos are pretty much dirt cheap for low pro tires.

I would go with the 235's like ur runnin now.
