I am in the process of replacing the Goodyear Eagles (225/45-17 front and 265/40-18 rear) that were on the car when I bought it in 2008. These tires seem fine to me (I have no basis for comparision); however I do set off the TCS under quick acceleration.
My intention is to replace them with BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW's (215/40-17 front and 265/35-18 rear). I do not track the car but do enjoy spirited driving in rural areas and safe conditions. These tires seemed to be a good choice for my car and how I drive it.
I am concerned with dropping the ride height as my driveway has a sharp upward angle that requires a very slow, 45 degree approach. I have about 1" of clearance (without a front lip).
Will changing the tire size drop my front end more than 1"?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Matt
