You can then go with the 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear. The S03, Kumho MX and Pilot Sport are all good options. Let me know if I can help.

Thank you I will take the opportunity to ask if you have some weight data on the tires and sizes you mentioned above (S03, Kuhmo MX, Pilot Sport)? I heard that the S03s are the heaviest of these. Also how would you compare the Kuhmos with the other 2 in the rain? What about handling characteristics (steering response)? Thanks a lot, Florian |
