Default Tire size change?

Any problems going to a 235/45/17 from a 255/40/17 on a 4.2 sport?

Default The size is fine, just make sure they have the appropriate load index...

Apparently, tire distributors have been cracking down and enforcing the appropriate load rating index when purchasing new tires. More info here...<ul><li><a href="http://www.tirerack.com/a.jsp?a=AR4&amp;url=%2Ftires%2Ftiretech%2Fgeneral% 2Fspeed.jsp">Tirerack's Tire Tech</a></li></ul>
