2008 Civic tire Size

Has Anyone gone for the 17" Wheels on Civic EX - a non Si. The Honda web
site has some kind of goofy tire size that I do not understand. After
Looking at the tirerack website the appear to be Michelin Exalto PE2s, But
the size does not match what is on the Si's.. I am confused. If anyone can
enlighten me it would be helpful.

The accessory you selected:
17" Alloy Wheels

Includes the following accessories:
17" HFP R7 ALLOY WHEEL $1300
Tire, 17" 145WR7PE2XL $743.52

 

The tire size on an Si and the correct tire size for the accessory 17" wheel
on a Civic is 215/45-17. The Michelin Exalto PE2 ($197.60 each) tire you
mention is one of the OEM tires for the Civic. The other OEM tire is the
Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 ($220.40 each).

I Currently have Michelin Exalto A/S on my 03 Tiburon.
