Default Winter Tire Question

I'm going to get some LM-22 Blizzaks for my Enthusiast. However, I'm trying to decide whether to get 2 front 225/50/17 and 2 rear 235/50/17 tires, or just go with 225/50/17 all around. How much off would my spedometer be with I go with 225 all around? What do you think?

I spoke to nna they said not to change the tire aspect.If you have two diffrent sizes the car should stay like that.they were pretty atamentabout that.
PS your luckey you have 17's they don't have them in 18's.
Hope this helps.

Wouldn't it be better to have a smaller surface area? Is it that bad to put a 225 in the back rather than 235? Anybody have any experience or comparisons?

Has anyone gotten the 18's yet. Mine are being shipped by air today and I am in the first shipment to Canada which included only 10 units. Just wondering because I heard a rumor that the 225/45/18 LM22's are V rated and the new 245 that they are making are H rated which wouldnt make sense, but not much does these days.

I own a 6M G35 coupe and was told by my dealer to put 225/45/18 LM-22's all around. I put them on a few days ago and they are working very well for me.

So, does anyone know how much the spedometer would be off to go 225/50/17 all around?
