    I have two sets of 17" Hoosier Cups. Both are used. Both have a fair amount left on them. They are 225/45/17. Hoosiers run wide so they are really closer to a 245.

    Didn't know if you're looking for a track only tire. I'd trade both sets for your one.

    Sounds like a good deal...but I don't think my skillz would even warrant the use of such a tire ;)

    Why are you looking to switch? Just for the look, or do you have a purpose in mind (track, autox, etc)?

    245 or 255 wide tires will daily drive/ride much different then your current 225s.

    That could be a possiblility...

    I was actually thinking about getting these: http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=5733

    I was hoping to improve handling and looks, but a friend tells me "wandering" may be a pita. I intend to do some type of legitimate fast driving this summer, but I can't see it becoming too frequent

    Surprisingly I am looking to do almost the exact same thing. I have Pirelli p zero nero m+s in a 225 45 17 and am looking for something in like a 235/245 45/40 17. I am willing to trade or make other deals if anyone is interested. Let me know. Sorry to thread jack

    If a mod can change the title to "FS: Used 225/45/17 tires" or something, that would be sweet ;)

    Both cars I've ran 245 wide tires did tend to tramline a bit. The rediculous traction more than made up for it though. :biggrin:
