you know, a 245/45/17 is about a FULL INCH taller than you a 225/45/17?? you really want to run that size? why not just run a 245/40/17 thats the correct diameter?

depends on the tire, for example the 245/45 azenis 615's are only 0.6 inches larger than my 225/45 hankooks. 245/40 would usually be a better fit, though.
