Biggy Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 205/40's are a very low profile...not good.. and a smaller rolling radius than the 215/45's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arizona Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) 215 to 205 didnt notice a difference edited just noticed the lower profile ,, dont do it 45's give much better ride, the extra money would be well spent Edited September 3, 2012 by arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
