Which size Michelin Super Sports
Which size Michelin Super Sports
Hey I was just curious I was going to replace my Goodyear all seasons with some Michelin Super Sports. I have read nothing but good reviews on them the biggest decision is the size. I could do a 205 or a 215. I have the stock alloy 17inch rims that came on my 06 Checkmate and the difference is 215s are cheaper by 30 dollars than the 205. It is a summer tire only I realize that, my mini only gets ran in the summer anyways. Thanks
205/45-17 or 215/45-17 will function the same for street use, usually owners choose 215/45-17 for the value.
If you have a lowered suspension the 205/45-17 gives more clearance.
Michelin Pilot Super sport is a comfortable riding tire so of these sizes both are good.
It's your choice, either is workable.

I went with the 215/45-17, I'm lowered about 1.25" with 2 deg of camber all around, no problems.
Not many miles on them yet but so far they are great, compared to the old runflats they are quieter and handle better, also not as harsh a ride.
