2002 Lincoln LS Tire Question

I am in need of a new set of tires. I current am running 235/50/17 tires on there now, but after looking it seems thats an odd size and are expensive.

Either way, is there a better size to run on my 2002 Lincoln ls? I have a V6 and have 17" chrome factory wheels on it. Would going to 245/45/17 affect my speedometer and things or not??

What tire size would you recommend I go to and is there one better than the other for an 02 Lincoln LS?

Thanks in advance for your help.

245/45-17 is a Mustang size, so pricing is pretty good. Fit is fine, but it will lower your ride height some and won;t fill out the wheel wells as much. Some don't notice, some do.

Yes, it makes your speedo read a bit fast. Otherwise, no functional issues.

I run 245/45-17s - currently using Goddyear F1 GS-D3s.

click on my signature to see pics if you are interested. remember - I am lowered so the wheel gap is not an issue.

Does lowering these car throw off the camber? Will the inside of the tire wear down quicker than the rest?

yes to both questions.

the 'acceptable' camber for street use is usually considered no more than 1.5 degrees - which is what I am at. Since I autocross - that's where I like it anyway.
