    I have a 2008 S coupe convertible, Sidewalk edition and have 205/45r17 on them. I'm need to get new tires and want to know what are the different tire sizes that fit this model.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you,

    Brendan

    Go to the 215s. I believe you'll like them just fine.

    You can easily fit up to a 215/45.

    Good recommendations Dave! I've got 215 DW tires (NOT the DWS-which are good but more of an allseason tire) on the MCS. The Dunlops are great tires and sticky,but that comes with a tread wear decrease. Much like the Bridgestone S04 Pole Positions on my Clubman. Those will be going on the MCS next buy. Bought new for the Dragon and probably won't make it till Christmas, but boy do they stick.

    We even have a member that put 225's on her Roadster, they really fill u the wheelwell but would be un workable if she were to lower it I think.
