Getting new tyres soon...

I used the Pilot sport 4 on my 2016 honda civic. I highly recommend it despite the price ($210 per tyre)

Can 225/45/17 tyres be fitted on 17x7 rim?

All tire manufacturers say Yes. But a looks a tad bloated. Best is still 7.5”. 
but depends on brand and model. 
And No, not all 225/45/17 have the exact same dimensions. The only dimension that is fixed is the 17”.

My present tyre is 235/50/19 andv75% worn. Its more rare than my previous 55 series. 

 

It's a Hankook S1evo 2 and frankly, I am surprised by how quiet and the grip it offers.

Can. Some cars become factory fitted with 17x7 rim and 225/45/17 tyres, such as Hyundai Avante CN7 and VW Golf. But i think 225 is the max for a 7J rim

most tire companies recommend a range of rim width can accept this 225/45/17 are 7 (min) to 8.5 inch (Max). 

when comes to ground some individual driver will judge further by the look and own preference. 

.my answer to you is can.

From previous exp from myself & forumers,

Small/offbrand- Malaysia is cheaper.

Branded: Singapore cheaper and better - a KL Civic came down to a certain ws where i was doing an oil change simply the tyres he wanted are more expensive in MY.

Bridgestone Potenza S005 (OEM)... Currently 13k....look like still some way to go before hitting the treadwear indicator bar. But seem like the shallow thin grooves will be gone before that happen. Amy opinion?

Long time no see...any latest diy mod...?

Maybe can dismount the wheel n use pen knife to deepen the groove lines to tahan a little longer...😁

JK...anti aquaplaning ability may be undermined when they are gone...I'd change to new tyres once that's gone even if the indicator bar still have some beef left though or go real easy in the wet.

yeah, it's been a while.

Recent car DIY mods restricted to minor cosmetic ones since I am pretty much happy with the current car's mechanics/performance.😄

I just found out what those narrow thin groove lines are called...sipes

Apparently some manufacturer depending on models, their sipes can be the same depth as the tread wear indicator....

For comparison to brand new ......seem like I already lost a few sipes
