Default Help:) Ordering tires this morning...........

Hi all,

I just needed last minute advise on tires. I am going to purchase them in the morning. These are my two options. PS> I have zender monza (7*7.5) wheels.

What is most important? >>Low tire noise and ride comfort.

Option #1: Dunlop SP 9000 225/45/17

Option #2: Bridgestone RE730 235/45/17.


These tires will be used in northern california. Also notice tire size differences.

Thank you for all your advice!!!!

Just a quick point on your tires choices. I too have an Avant...mine is a 98.5 Avant QMS. I have 235/40/17 S-02PPs on 17x8 rims and they do not rub. I went with the 40 series over the 45s becuase I'd rather be going a little slower then I think I am vs. the other way around. I think most will agree that the 45s rub a little more often then the 40s. Just something to consider.

Good Luck,
Rick
