215/45/17... A 215/40/17 will be "stock" size but looks like garbage.

Because 205/40/17s look better

I'm just not into the look of no sidewall. It looks goofy as hell to me. Eastwood, no offense but to me that doesn't look good on your car. It enhances the wheel gap that you have. The 215-45-17 looks perfect IMO.

Hansken... just run a real, non 2001-style ricer size tire and roll your fenders and dump it moar

thankss, sorry i should've used the search thingy, next question while im at it...cheapest place to get good tires?

superdan · Post by **superdan** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:57 am

www.tirerack.com

www.discounttiredirect.com

those two are the most popular...

It also won't hurt to check around your local tire places. By the time tire rack/ discount tire add shipping, a few local shops in my area are just as competitive. Prolly why I have never bought from them, if I can get them local, and don't have to wait for them to be shipped...

I always ask for installed price, taxes out the door, for an accurate comparison.

Depends on the tire really. Some of the more popular tires this is probably correct. Some of the more specialized tire this is a no. I get mine for about half what the local shops want for them from tirerack or just some random online tire dealer.

DTD has free shipping. Dan just overpaid by $86 on tires locally vs DTD because he didn't want to wait the 3 days or whatever to get them... And this was after he told them they're lower online and they said we wont match online pricing but took like $5 off each tire or something.

superdan · Post by **superdan** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 12:41 pm

^^ they took off like $20 per tire and took $10 off their normal mounting and balancing for each wheel

but yes i probably could have got them cheaper from DTD or TR

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 3:25 pm

I thought they went from $114 to $109 or some shit? And it isn't a probably, you CERTAINLY could've gotten them $86 cheaper because I went and looked on DTD!

Either way you didn't even post the important comment... You replaced GOOD 205/40/17s with 215/45/17s because the 205/40 looks weaaaakkkkkkkkkk

superdan · Post by **superdan** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:20 pm

actually i replaced with 225/45/17

but yes 40 series tires are weak lul

Check out Mr Tire in your area, if there are any.

I've had really good luck with prices there.

dodgegirl2003 · Post by **dodgegirl2003** » Tue Oct 19, 2010 11:08 pm

i went to mr tire here they said total for 4 tires, i have the info at my dads house, but the total for the cheapest set was $657

Fuzzyneon · Post by **Fuzzyneon** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 12:05 pm

i love threads that consist of 205 40/17 and cheapest tire awesome

doesnt matter if you run rubber bands on a car that cant even chirp a tire or

get coils and run a REAL tire or even srt struts i believe you can fit some decent tire under

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 6:07 pm

Buy these: LINK

Go to a merchants tire, they'll probably mount them for $40. Total investment is going to be $360.

unc-newbie · Post by **unc-newbie** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 12:58 pm

What about leaving the tire the same and swapping out the strut from an SRT? Will this fit and if so will it hurt the vehicle?

SRT wheels are 215/50ZR17.

Didn't know since I already had tires if the SRT struts would fit on a 2001 Dodge Neon ES. That way everything would be proportionate.

INVUJerry · Post by **INVUJerry** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:04 pm

SRT tires are 205/50/17. 215's will fit, but it's not recommended.

SRT struts and springs will fit on a regular neon just fine.

unc-newbie · Post by **unc-newbie** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:06 pm

So I could get away with swapping the SRT Struts over along with the 215's and then go get some 205's installed?

Why is it not recommended on not using 215's?

OB · Post by OB » Thu Nov 11, 2010 10:54 pm

Some people think that a 215 on a 6" wheel is too wide. However, I've heard of people running them with no problems. Generally, you want to keep the width of the tire close to the width of the rim. Then again, I've seen zillions of people push the limits without problems, including myself on more than a few occasions.

215mm = 8.4"
