I've researched the tire issue extensively and have also received great feedback from the folks on this site! Seems like the Yokohama AVS db's and Dunlop SP 9000's are the top picks. I will definitely be replacing with one of these brands this week as I can't stand the noise anymore. What I thought was Wind Noise, is probably Road Noise! I'm praying this helps :-)
Anyway, a quick "tire fitting" question as I'm remiss in this area. The horrid factory Michelins on my 2000 Aero are 225/45-17. Can I put the 235/45-17 Yokohama AVS db's (10mm wider)on it or must I stay with the exact same size?
Appreciate any insight! Jeff
