for anyone who was wondering what size tire to run

found this and thought it might help out somebody. I found out that I should be running 225/45/17's instead of 215's.

you can change it to either metric or imperial.

metric is what tires are normally read in except for big mudders that are read in imperial which would be in inches..

I found out that I should be running 225/40/17's, but they are hard as hell to find around here. So I'll keep running my 215/40/17 which are still really close.
