I'm going to take a guess and say 275/40's... I seen them on stock tri-bars which I believe are 17x8's too.

a 275 street tire does not wear very well on a 17x8" rim. I found it very hard to keep the pressure perfect to maintain a good wear pattern on my car...


If you have some tires to burn off those bullet's there is a car show with a burnout box in Putnam CT on August 10th....
