Living proof! 235/40 R 17 fit perfectly on my Viggen!

I have to admit, that I was a bit nervous when I bought them off of tire rack. But after consultation with 3 tire experts, the 235 40 is actually closer in diameter to stock tire than a 225 45. It was the extra centemeter width I was concerned with. After mounting I've taken them through dips at full lock, partial turns, and the whole range and no problems. Not only does the extra beef look kick ass, but I can't break 2nd gear loose any more. It doesn't tram line any worse, and torques steer seems no more dramatic. I was a bit worried that they would buldge out too much from the rim, but it actually looks just right, and there is definately better curb protection. I bought the Pirrelli P7000 supersports for $85 a piece, plus about 40$ to ship. I'm very happy with the results. If you have a viggen, this is the look it needed from the beginning, especially from the back or when the front tires are turned.
