I've got an '06 Sport with 33K miles, and the ol' Toyos are finally toast. I guess I feel pretty lucky getting that many miles, after reading some of the posts about how bad these tires can be.
I read the long "sticky" about different replacement tires for the 5, and found that many people are going with the 215/50/R17 tires as replacements. I like this idea, because the 205's just look too small to me. I know there isn't much difference, but I think a little bigger will look a lot better.
My question is......will putting the bigger tires on my 5 void my vehicle warranty? Is the dealer going to hold it against me when I try to get warranty work done in the future?
From what I read, the bigger tire will have a very small effect on the speedometer and eventually, the odometer. It seems like, over the life of the tires, I'll have driven a little farther than what the odometer will indicate.
Thanks.
