Old tires were BF Goodrich 215 45 ZR17's. They were much lower profile than what I would have picked if it was me doing the picking, but not quite "rubberbands" either. You might think they would be terrible, but they are 50PSI tires, so I had hope for them initially. Here's a picture. Sorry, you have to put up with me being in the picture, since I don't seem to be able to find another of those rims on my car.

The new tires are Bridgestone Ecopia 185 65 R15's.
Perhaps I will be able to get a picture of the new rims/tires on my car up tomorrow.

According to an online tire size calculator, the Ecopia's are 24.5" in diameter, and the 17's are 24.6". The difference is 0.6%.
