yeah...for you it wouldn't be an issue. However, dropping the profile down to a 45 series tire...you will be changing the reading on your speedometer...you are aware of that, right?

Actually my friend, it's more like 4+...just some good info to know. Also, by keeping the same rim size and lowering the side wall...the gap between the tire and the wheel well will be bigger as well.

101649... by chrisa222

Hey,
 
I have a set of Nexen 7000s on my car...these are the all-season ones, and they are great. I went with 18s on mine.
 
I think the 45s will be a nice benefit in handling over the 55s

The N5000's are the utra-high performance all-season tire by Nexen.
 
Notice you have 18's on yours, 10649 wants to keep the stock 17's and put the 45's on that....not saying it can't be done, he'll definitely reap benefits of handling with the lower profile, but his speedometer will be affected as will his fuel economy (slightly).

New Tires and Alignment by jkoleh

Just put 4 new tires on my 2007 Azera Ltd-at 32,000 miles-went with the Kumho Ectsa LX Platinum so we will see how they do. Old OEM tires --on two the tread was at 2/32--other two were seriously cupped on the inside of the tire---needed a four wheel alignment--was a little surprised at that since I drive conservately (most of the time) and haven;t hit any major curbs, potholes, or anything like that. My previous two Chrysler 300M's went a total of140,000 miles w/o needing an alignment. Any one else have experience with the Kumho's?

The following link will take you to the Tirerack survey ratings for Grand Touring All Season tires:
 
 http://www.tirerack.com/tires/surveyresults/surveydisplay.jsp?type=GTAS
 
A couple clicks from that link will take you to owner reviews which, for the most
part, were glowing. Thanks for bringing the Kumho to our attention.

Thanks, cobrazera----I had looked at the Tire Rack info---initially was going to get the Bridgestone Turanza Serenity but they were not available--on back order for 4 to 6 weeks.

I just replaced the original Michelins on my 2007 Azera with Yokohama YK 520's at Discount Tire. The originals still had decent tread left at 40,000 miles but needed to prepare for the winter season here in Chicagoland. I will post my thoughts as to the performance once we get some serious weather.
