Tire change

[pontus]

89'3.2 Carrera factory ride height.
I would like to use the Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires.
The come in 225/45/17 and 245/45/17. Has anyone used these sizes?
Any negatives on these taller size tires? What should I expect?

Thanks

depending on wheel width I'd use 225/45 & 255/40 x17 which will be about the same height as the oe 16's

if you really want a 245 rear your could always use 245/40 x17 which would be shorter then the oe 16's

I've always read to say within 3%. 245/45/17 is 3.2%...I run them on the front of my car with 275/40/17 in the rear as I preferred taller gearing. Seems fine.
