Just had these installed (205/45-17) they are about an inch or more wider than the Falken 512's that I had on before. They ride is considerably smoother. Those bumps and holes with alot less noticeable than before.
So far so good. Thanks for the recommendation from Tire Rack.

 

i've been driving them for over 10,000 miles - couldn't be happier!

don't forget to carry a conti repair kit or fix a flat though - i had a flat this weekend and the conti kit totally saved me - but sadly - not the tire...

cheers - drew
