225/45 17 regarding keeping the speedometer/odometer accurate.

Wait, did you mean sidewall-wise? Or width?

well I bought 235 45 17 but ntb said they couldnt mount them .I personally think they just didnt want to put the time or effort into it since i didnt purchase the tires through them.

It sure would at that low of pressure but the PT should take about 34 lbs. for a decent ride and good wear. Keep an eye out on yours, at 28 lbs your probably going to have more wear than usual on the outer edges.

Cool Re: 05 dream cruiser stock wheels

I'm running 225/45 x17s, and keep them at 34 like Crewzin says! I would say that besides wear problems, at that low a pressure I'd be concerned about sidewall stress, and it will more easily damage the rim on a minor pothole!
