Fairly new Aero owner here. Drove for a year on the stock 17"s. They wore out evenly but very quickly. I dont have any suspension issues. The Aero's seem to just eat up 17" tires from my research.
Put on a set of 16" rims and snow tires (Nokian's from a 9-3) for this winter. Seems to ride much better. The 17" tires seem to be expensive and seem to wear out very fast. This car is my daily driver and sees no performance driving at all. Anything wrong with with switching over to a 16" all season on the same rims for a much smoother ride and double the tire life?
