Tire Selection Help 225/45 R17 or 215/45R17
I need help selecting new non winter tires. I am looking for ones that will roll the easiest. If it was up to Tire Rack they would pick Pirelli Cinturato P7. I want to stay with the original diameter of 25.1" for the GLS.
Back-round on this is their going on a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS. Original tires are Hankook Optimo H426 205/55R16 diameter of 25.1" (Average MPG40+ over 30K). These steel rims are now winter set with IceX3 (drop of 2MPG ) (24.9 Dia).
I have Factory 17" rims that come with the Limited Model, but I haven't purchased Tires or tpms. (The factory 215/45R17 Hankook Optimo H426, 24.8 Dia)
Help does anybody have experience with this size tire, or close to it. There are no guides for brand to brand comparisons in non Prius sizes. Spending over $600- has me wanting to make the right choice.
Thanks in advance for reading and I hope suggesting/recommending.
Chris
