17" tire recommendations
The "Summit" tires that came on my X are old and cracking. I can't even find date codes on them (and have never heard of this brand before). Looking at Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT or Discoverer AT3 4S in the stock 235/65x17 size.
The old tires are 245/70x17, but there is no detectable speedometer error via the GPS in my dash cam and the local scolding signs that freak out if I'm going over the limit, which is weird because these tires are taller than stock with a longer circumference.
I know others here have gone quite a bit wider/taller on the stock 17" rims, other than maybe a softer ride and lower fuel economy (it's bad enough already, thanks) what's the benefit?
