The decision to choose 205/55r17 tires for a new car was made with great consideration. Lada Vesta SV Cross, enticed by positive reviews, decided against saving and adopted the "market leader" Prior to that, I had driven several other vehicles, including some quite affordable wood vehicles that I had purchased on the used automobile market.
