Changing Tire Size
Asking for an opinion here..
I have an '04 LS with the Sport Suspension and 18" wheels. The tire size that came with the car is 245/45 18 and I am thinking of replacing them soon, but with one sidewall ratio larger 245/50 18. I think the extra height will fill in the wheel wells nicely and improve the ride with the sport suspension.
What do you think?

Here you go:

A 225/50/18 would be closer to keeping things stock.

Yes the more I'm reading up on it, the more I think I'll stick with the original size. I'm running on Michelin Pilot Sports right now I find them pretty quiet but hard riding. Maybe the MXV is the way to go..
Thank you all!
