    Happy Spring! Almost time to remove the winter wheels.

    I'm looking for a set of used performance tires for my 2005 Saab 9-2x/WRX. Stock tire size is 215/45/R17. Perhaps 225's would also fit(?). I have the stock 17x7 / 5x100 wheels. Located in South Minneapolis.

    Thank you.

    225’s should work as well.

    Define performance tires.

    Summer only? All season?

    I'd like to try summer only. I have Conti snow tires on now.

    I was thinking I'd take the Conti Extremes off around mid-April.

    Thanks. Maybe they'd fill out the wheel wells a bit more.

    Nice! Any noticeable change in acceleration or gas mileage?

    Never too soon for Summers. Year round Summers are the best.

    Still searching. I have a line on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3.

    Tirerack says "The Pilot Sport A/S 3+ includes a W- and Y-speed rated Ultra High Performance All-Season tire member of Michelin's Pilot family of low profile, high-speed tires developed for the drivers of high-end sports cars, sporty coupes and sedans looking for total performance."

    Certainly my 2005 Saab 9-2x is a high-end sporty sedan. ;)
