Don't understand the confusion here???

My car came with 225/45-17. Seventeen inch diameter SUMMER tires. They
suck in the snow.

I bought Michelin Pilot Alpin tires which are 225/40-18 and a set of
cheap discontinued wheels from tire rack.

The Alpin tires kick ass in the snow. I drive in snow quite a bit thank
you. I like the look of a larger tire on a car as do most other people.

Got it?
