Can anyone shed some light on why it doesn't bulge out much. The size is 225/45/17 on the '05 Lux rims.

the tyre dude was wrong, the michelin's are great tyres IMO 260 is a good price from the quotes I got too, however michelins are better. They make more money from dunlops than they do on michelin's, most likely he wanted a sale and michelins are pricey.......how does your car feel with the new tread ?
