An inch or two difference in diameter may not make a difference with your truck, but it does in our cars. > I really dont see your argument? WHY would anyone ever want a 225/55/17 over a 225/45/17 on a 240?? EVER? It will look completly rediculous, perform like shit, possibly rub on shit, throw your speedo off and is just extra, un-needed tire and weight. > Is there any upside to running a 55 series 17" tire that i dont see??? > > And BTW, I DID NOT suggest getting 225/55/17, i told the op to get the 225’s in the 45 series that he had asked about in his previous post. > > Please give me one good reason to run 55 or 60 series tires on a 17" rim.

WE ALL know by now that you work in a shop thats run by you and your dad, Good for you! You dont have to make it a point to add that into every G.D. post. And whats with making it a point to always reassure yourself that YOU are right in your post and that everyone else is wrong? Ease up on the cockiness abit, every post of yours has at least of hint of it thrown in there, some with more then the loltrain can handle. believe it or not your not the only one that knows shit on this site, and guess what?? quite a few of us work in shops too!! Im not to sure where to even start with you. But I’ll try to keep to the point of this thread. Unlike yourself. Simply put. If you can not fit a taller tire on your winter beater/car. Then it should NOT be a winter car. Who the fuck wants a low profile/small sidewall tire in the winter. Slide into a curb, now you need a rim too. Smart! You seem like one of those form over function guys. Which, is not safe. But hey, you work in a shop. We ALL KNOW that.:rolleyes: I will admit, I did not pay to much attention to the 17" factor. My bad there. Regardless in turn, however. Now, since my “redneck” truck is not comparable. S13’s with 205/60R15 O.E has a O.D of 24.7" I went with 16" rims. Got the rims with 205/55R16. My O.D was over sized, not by much. In turn I wanted a fatter tire, and to bring my sidewall back to O.E specs. So I went with a 245/45R16. 24.7" O.D How would this not apply to his 17" wheels? Because you do not approve? It would look like shit? Come on dude. You have a problem here. With me? Take it to PM. Do not try being a big shot in front of all of SON. You bring up the fact that I run a shop with my dad? It is true. Woopy shit. You say I know everything? Or that I say I know everything? How can this be true? In any way? I have opened my own threads asking questions, because I DO NOT know everything. I came onto this site because I knew nothing about 240’s. I came her to learn. I came here to share my knowledge as a technician with others as well. Where exactly is the problem with that? I’m not putting any more time into feeding your ego in this thread. You wanna debate/argue or bitch at me some more. Take it to PM. Which you wont. Because you get no big shot status because no one else see’s it. Then again, now you will. Just to prove you have a point. O.P - Go to a tire store. Get advice from TIRE experts. Since you’ll be buying tires there anyways. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/quick-winter-tire-questions/128543)._
