Default 255/45 tires

I just wanted to throw out why I decided to get the optional 20" wheels vs 19" wheels.

20" tires are cheaper than 19" ones at our fitment, look for yourself at tirerack.com

the service description, which describes the load rating, is 101W.

I'm planning on replacing the OE tire, whenever it wears out..w/ michelin super sports, which has a higher rating of 105Y.

the super sport is a passenger car tire, so it will ride smoother.

and..it's about 500 dollar cheaper than the OE tire.

keep in mind this is a summer tire, and i live in FL, and don't plan to go offroad, so this is perfect for me.

just wanted to pass this along.

I roll on the PSS in 255/45/20 and think they are great. I replaced the crappy OEM Goodyears immediately. A little road noise, but easy trade off for the handling and grip.
