Default our stock tires suck??

ne ways i have a small impact bump on my passenger side tire about the size of a quarter. i was gonna replace it but the tire cost 150-200 . Ive also heard that our stock tires suck ... why is that?? its michilin and cost 200 each ... i dont get it. people been tellin me that for 500 bucks i can replace all 4 tires and have much much better performance and handling . I just wanna know if this is true or not .

Also should i got 225 or 215? i know 225 will prob slow it down a bit for acce but will it look better then 215's on stock type s wheel? my car isnt droped but if i put 225's will the wheel gap be bigger or small? if its small then i would def get the 225's.

I was also thinkin of 215's in front and 225's in back... is this a stupid thought? i think it might actually look pretty nice but i dunno until i see it .

I went with Khumo ectsa's 225's. They were amzing tires. Over stock the grip was adicting. It made me wanna just pounce on the car everytime. They cost me a lil under 400.

Yes, the stock tires suck.

Don't put different sized tires (front to back) on the car and don't mix brands/compounds.

225/45/17 will fit fine. You'll get a little wider tire too. But they will marginally be taller.
