Okay... I realize I bought a performace wagon, but given the erratic price of a gallon of gas and the negative effect of traffic infractions on my day job (pilot), I now drive like a little old lady! This, combined with the fact that I am a cheap SOB, has me looking for the best bang for my buck on a tire. Does anyone make a touring tire for this vehicle?? If not what is my best option? The yokohama's I had on the car left me wanting in the treadwear department. I also seem to remember someone saying a different tire size eliminated the notorious tire rubbing. Can anyone help me with this? Would the circumference of the tire be different and affect my mileage? Stock tire size is 235/45/17. Thanks, Gene
