Snow tires

[twister8008]

Hello everyone. I had these tires on my STI, but I was wondering if they would work on my new 2013 SI. I am curious if anyone tried a 235 on our 215 tire. Thanks!

It's too tall. And very wide for a snow tire set for our cars.

215/45/17 to 235/45/17 comparison -

When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 61.7mph (99.3km/h): 2.8% faster. Package is 10 mm (0.4'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 9 mm.

It'll "fit", but it'll mess up your speedo. It's also not advised to run wider tires in the snow. They usually advise making them more narrow to cut through snow better.

Thanks man! I rolled with these tires on my Subi last winter and they worked awesome. I am willing to deal with a little speedo issue. As long as I am not breaking anything on the car.

You will probably confuse the ABS. That's about it.
