Default '98 front tire size
I've seen two slightly different tire sizes in specifications for the 1998 front tires, P245/40ZR17 and 245/45ZR17, can anyone tell me which is actually OEM?

Mine is an 03, but I don't think the OEM tire sizes changed from 98 to 03. My fronts are 245/45R17s.

Agreed. My car is in the shop so I couldn't run out to check it but Tire Rack also lists the size as 245/45 R17s as well.
