New tire comparison!

Well as some of you know my 20" wheels were a little late being shipped to my house. So while I was waiting for them to show up I took some pics of my unmounted tires next to the stock Pirelli.

Stock 235x55x17
Front 255x35x20
Rear 285x30x20
Currently on car 245x45x17

Let me know what you think once they're mounted. Mine are slightly out-of-round.

RE: New tire comparison!

Nice comparison pictures. Those are the same tires i am running. They ride much nicer than the stock tires. To me the overall ride improved and the noise level front bumps and such lessened a little bit. Which by the way suprised me. Running 20's i was expecting it to ride like ***.
