Size? 205? 16inch? what? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes <- That's a good deal. Only around $500 with shipping

Plus installation. Plus more issues if you have tire issues that TireRack isn't there to serve you on.

Default stock size vs 225

Why are folks saying stick with stock size??
205 50 on stock 17 and was thinking that if I got the contDWS in 225 45 I would end up with about the same clearance in the wheel well and would have better traction with a wider tire.
