Those are some cheaper tires which have a weaker sidewall so there is more bulge. I have Kuhmo's on the front now and theres almost no bulge.1998 Red RS 3.8l A4<br /> Whisper - K&N - N20 - 1LE Panhard - Ghetto STB - 255/50ZR16 Ecsta<br /> Removed grille - Limo tint - blackouts - A-pillar cf a/f ratio<br /> Panasonic DF88 - 1 12\" Eclipse 88120.4 - Eclipse 3322 amp<p><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/raven_rs\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/raven_rs</a> -

My first set of 255's were the PepBoys "Futura" brand, and they bulged out more than my Kumho's that I have on my car now. The 255/50 Kumho 712's look awesome on the 16" rim.

RaVeN1469 what was the cheapo tires(the one in the pics you posted) you said that you had? What was the brand name?Thanks, <br />JAM<p>02 Firebird GTComment

They were/are Phantom radials and the only name I could find on them were fisk. So I'm assuming thats the brand. When I blew one on the highway and ripped it apart discount said they were on back order from michilen. So I got the kumhos for like $8 more a tire. I love the tread on the phantoms and the sidewalls make them look wider (I think they are actually wider too) and they aren't bad tires, just a weak sidewall so they don't bite the corners as hard.

They aren't to bad in rain, kept decent control if you hit a large puddle. As far as snow, I honestly don't see how much better my car could get in the snow from tires. But they performed somewhat close to the 235/55 BFG's that came stock on the car.1998 Red RS 3.8l A4<br /> Whisper - K&N - N20 - 1LE Panhard - Ghetto STB - 255/50ZR16 Ecsta<br /> Removed grille - Limo tint - blackouts - A-pillar cf a/f ratio<br /> Panasonic DF88 - 1 12\" Eclipse 88120.4 - Eclipse 3322 amp<p><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/raven_rs\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/raven_rs</a>Comment
