Thanks for pointing that out, i had it all wrong for some reason...they are 244's
Isnt 25psi a little too low? Wouldnt that also make the pick up slightly sluggish?
I will probably upgrade to 18inchers when i get a DMS or PSI remap done but i dont feel the urge to do it anytime soon.
I know increasing the profile will make the ride wierd but can i put 235/50R17 or 245/50R17 at the rear without having the tires scrape the body when 3 fat people are in the rear.

I went with the 245/35/19 in the front and the 285/35/19 on the Rear (no rubbing even under compression). However the actual tire has a lot to do with the 166 wheel. Some tires sit on the wheel in an awkward way causing the rim to protrude from the sidewall. I think Contis fit perfect.

Thanks for the advise... I am going with PS2's cause most tire review sites either have PS2's as top their top recommendation.
