The prices actually aren't that bad.  Maybe it's because of this aftermarket
wheel phenomenon that's taken hold.  Do you have the same problem up there
seeing all these ugly gas guzzling SUVs with 30" wheels with the spinning
centers?

The two cars I'm very familiar with that have the 235/45s do look nice.  Don
Ds car actually drives very nicely with that size.  I believe that the 235
or 225 refers to the overall width of the tire in mm.  That width is okay.
It's the height of the sidewall that I'm worried about.

235/55?? Way too odd of a size!! In reality, the stock 215/60/16 size has
more capability than 99.99% of us SHO drivers. Get the wide-ass tires if you
want "the look", but actual everyday handling performance isn't worth
getting an oddball, pricey, size.
