Default 45 or 40 Profile Tires for My 16x7 Milanos

I just scored some Milano rims for my Integra and It has 2 New Toyo Proxes in the Front and Two really worn down Federals in the back because his car was dropped so low that the inner sides of his tires are just eaten away. Should I just get 4 new tires 205/45/16 or just two more Proxes 205/40/16.

though decision.

i guess if the proxes are pretty new...i would get 2 more matching ones. then get an alignment.

or just sell the proxes, and get a new set of 45 series.

Just go for the 40's since you already have two. I believe that is the recommended size anyway, I went with 45 on my 16's just for more meat on the sides.

the correct size for the plus size and is close to stock is the 205 45 16 save up and get 4 sell the 40 series tires. You will appreciate the extra side wall with the 45 series believe it or not.

yeah I know I want 45s next time. Makes the bumps a little more bearable, but it's still a performance tire. And it'll help me close the gap to virtually nill.

I had to read that three times before I understood. Use punctuation man. Not just our benefit but yours too.

Don't get Azenis if this is a daily driven car. Azenis have tons of grip but very low life. I don't know much about AVS100 or the Ecsta Supras. Unless you will be racing in these tires, go the route that is cheaper. The extra width won't make a difference if you don't drive it hard.
