I run the 215/45/17's on my Volans. I have heard you do NOT want to go any bigger than that.

Alot of people do that because they do not get damaged as fast and easy as the 205's.
I have already had to replace 2 due to potholes.

I don't think I ever had 205's to be honest. They are actually harder to find and cost more. The selection is much better for 215's.
