Default Replacing AP2 tires soon and have a question...

I'm on a tight budget right now but I really need to change my tires. I have noticed that at many places I get a better deal if I get all four tires but theyre usually all same size. What size could I use that would work for both the fronts and rears and how would that effect driving, if it all.

Thanks in advance!

No size tire will work on the car on all four corners. The car does need to have staggered tires. Check out our pricing on line or give me a call.
I think you will find we normally will beat the local guys.

You DEFINITELY do not want to use the same size tires all around. Yes, you can do that, but the car's suspension is geared toward a staggered setup (wider tires in the rear). Expect to have a good amount of oversteer and loss of control with the same size tires all around.

Try General Tire Exclaim UHP. A set of two 215/45-17 and two 245/40-17 can be bought from Tirerack for about $360, shipping is included.
