But I don't understand how you can fit a 235 tyre on a 9" rim.
I thought it was strange, too, but I have now seen it with my own eyes and they don't look stretched or oddly fitted in any way. Considering that the 235 Michelin Alpin's are basically impossible to get from Tire Rack and other local sources, when I run down the set that came with the wheels, I think there's a very good chance I'll end up putting 245's on them rather than buy tires from the dealership to replace the odd size. I shouldn't have to worry about that for at least 3 or 4 years, though.
