Tire Size Change
I need to put new tires on my 2000 convertible with 17 inch lamina wheels. Wanting to keep the car as stock as possible I plan on keeping the wheels. Because of the limited selection in the stock tire size 245/50/17 I am thinking of switching to 235/55/17 or 255/50/17.
The car currently has 245/45/17 and I want a taller tire.
Any feedback or running the different sizes will be helpful.

I'd use something like this:

To sort out what you want. Find out how many revs pr mile your standard tire does, then stay within 2-3% of that number for your alternative tire.
