    Just had my new tires put on today and I have to say they feel great.
    Ended up going with some Falken 615s 245/45/17's. Havent driven to much on with them yet, but I will say they filled in any wheel gap I had nicely.

    I will get some pics posted up after the car gets washed. I cant dare post any pics of a dirty car :p:wavey:

    Nice, that has to be a blast with the 245's! Do you feel any drag on acceleration?

    I'm sure that much rubber fills the hole quite nicely.... :keke:

    i have the same tires on mine. already been to one autocross event and it was a major improvement to the Sumitomo 245/40/17 set that i had.

    it definatly closed up my wheel gap also..

    Is that a real bike with two wheels hanging in your garage, or am I imagining things?!?!? ;)

    Once the Azenis is worn off that center rib they'll be scrubbed in and ready to go, but watch out for standing water! The 245's must be nice...

    clean your car! ;)

    (i bet ours is dirtier)

    We are running 235/40-17 and they are a good bit shorter: 25.68" vs 24.4" diameter.

    Is your speedo off much? Ours is off by 4%

    Its off some, I forget the percentage. Not enough to really concern me.
