Opinions?

Hi Guys,

Need new rubber for lowered 03 sedan and looking at 235/45/18 or 225/45/18
what is best for looks and handling? I tried the 245/45/18 and the car was too tall.

Thanks
GBoy

The 235's will provide a bit more dry handling and response. However, you have a much better selection of tire in the 225.

Thanks Neal, I was looking at the Generals UHP and they are available in both
sizes, so I guess better handling plus its OEM, the Generals it will be, what
kind of pricing can we do.

Thanks
