245/45 17, is it too tall?
Ok, I ordered 245/45 series tires knowing full well that I should have just gone with 255/40's but the idea of a taller sidewall for a DD was tempting. Problem is it's a big tire and it looks like there will be rubbing issues.
So I called and ordered 255/40/17 Conti extremes and am sending these back. They may have worked but they definitely were tall.
