Different Tire Size...your opinions?
I have done a lot of searching and I have seen that most people who vary from the OEM tire size on the stockers have gone with the 245/40/18s for the obvious reasons (sidewall ratio, speedo, etc...)
BUT, with that said, I am looking to get new tires after being on 225/45 Kuhmo SPTs for 20K. Didn't like them that much to say the least. I've been doing some searching for a while and have decided I want to go with the Kuhmo ASX. Put a set on our BMW and really liked them. Great treadwear, good noise comfort, and responsiveness...
So here's the dilemma, I am going to get the tires off of tirerack, my local installer orders from there, and I wanted to know opinions on going with a 235/40 against a 245/40. My only reason for debate is because of the $83.00 a piece against the $113.00 a piece for the 245s.
Will I be kicking myself for the difference in sidewall, diameter, small speedo change, etc...?
