Default tires

I just bought a set of DUNLOP winter tires. 215 50 17

I am using them on all four sides. I bought them new at cost from my work for 380 installed.


Is that a good price and is tthat a decent size...I just put them on my winter steelies and the car is sitting rather low....About 1 inch lower than my summer ride height, which is stock and lowered on eibch sportline springs

255/50/19 on my charger. Feels a little too wide for winter. Almost a hydroplane feeling this morning on the highway!

All year round. 1 Finger gap on all 4 wheel. Each winter tire is smaller than oem size by 3%. No problem.
