I hated my 215/45's. Fell in love with the performance of my 215/40s.

You're right maxmini, that's Plus Zero I guess, my bad.
I went from oem 205/40-18 with an 8.30 tread width & 24.40 overall diameter to a aftermarket 225/45-15 with an 8.86 tread width & 22.95 overall diameter. Would that be Negative 3?

Out of curiosity how far off is your speedometer or did you correct that somehow? You should be showing higher speed than actually traveling I would guess. I went the other direction with my old school 72 K5 and that was showing low 50's when i was really doing low 70's LOL
