Ok - I have done a search and talked to a few diffrent people, but I wanted to come to my most reliable sources - you guys!
I have to replace my stock dunlops, my tires did the same as others (inside sidewall splitting to metal belts...)
I do not want to go with the same tires - the only problem is It is hard to find the original tire size (205/45/17)
I have read that 215/40/17 and*or 215/45/17 will work on out MP3's instead of the original size......problem is.......I called TIRERACK to speak w/ a customer service rep / advisor and he advised me not to use anything BUT 205/45/17 -
So now I'm confused......will it hurt my ride or effect the handling in a negative way? Is it possible to use either size? I need tires ASAP but need to know if it will work.....Maybe I just spoke to somebody who was not so sure if I can or not.....
I appreciate any and all input - Thanks!!!(thumb)
