255/45 R17 Summer Tires – Used

The 255/45 R17 tire size is a classic performance wide tire size, primarily used on sporting sedans, powerful rear-wheel drive vehicles, V6/V8 models, and some all-wheel drive vehicles.
The 255 mm wide tread provides excellent lateral guidance, traction, and stable braking performance, while the 45-series aspect ratio offers a balance between sporty directness and everyday comfort.

Vehicles with this tire size often feature:

• larger brake systems

• high engine power

• stiff suspension tunings

• rear or all-wheel drive

• increased wheel loads in performance cars

Used summer tires of this dimension must therefore be inspected particularly thoroughly to ensure structural stability and concentricity precision in the high-load range.

Reifenshop Landshut checks every tire according to strict OEM specifications.
