Should I spend the extra 30$ per wheel? Also, someone told me that 215-45-17's for a wagon and 225-45-17's for sedans. Is this true? Thanks again for the help.
I just went from 712's to MX's and the difference is HUGE, night and day. The MX's work just as well in the rain surprisingly, but I think they will wear a tad faster. The MX's ultimate grip level is far higher, and the only other comparible street tire is the Falken Azenis which isnt very good in the rain.
