Default Hoping for tire input...

Okay, after much research I've decided to go with the "Falken FK452 High Performance Tire - 275/40R17 98Y" for my C4... Wondering if anyone has had these on a C4... Or any personal experience with these...I'm wanting to try a run flat this time as apposed to the 255/50zr16 99w BSW BFG GForce sport comp2's on there now...I'm assuming the difference in the #'s is a non issue considering the website said it was a match for my 1984 C4

What tire are you putting back on the 16" wheels after you get them powder coated? Also that stock rim looks real good in all black also....Jay
