. Got that plus a $20 discount billed as a reimbursement for them keeping my old tires.

Thats awesome

Man here they charge you a $3 disposal fee per tire from the state just to take your old tire

Re: Which tire size to get?

I'm from lancaster, at school in rochester though.

Well I think realistically I need to decide between 225/60R16 and 245/50R16. I kind of like the fact that the 225's are nearly 1" larger in overall diameter but more rubber is always better I suppose. Anyone know of any good sales at a nationwide retailer? Reason being that I'll be making another trip to california in the car this summer so It would be nice to have an accessible repair place in case of anything.

Get the 245/50/16's and pick up a cheap set of Salad shooters or swirls and mount a set of snow tires 225/60/16.

I have 17" C6 Rims with Yoko 275/40/17 for April 1st to Nov 1st.

From Nov 1st to April 1st I run Goodyear Icetrac 225/60/16's on Black painted swirls.

Almost time to change them over:)

This is from a PHR article its right at the bottom:
http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tec...ody/index.html

Swapping the original-equipment tires, a set of T-rated Goodyear 235/55R16 Eagle GAs, for a set of Goodyear 245/50ZR16 Eagle F1 GS-D3s, made a huge difference. Swapping for new rubber might be the most noticeable change in how your car drives and, seriously, not enough people consider it first as a performance change. The Eagle F1 GS-D3 (www.eaglef1.com) is Goodyear's newest ultra-performance radial. It is positioned between Goodyear's super-dry-traction, F1 Supercar and the F1 GS, the OE tire on the base Corvette, the Mustang Cobra and Camaro Z28SS. It has very good dry traction and, by virtue of its rather unusual tread configuration, outstanding wet traction. It is one of the best all-weather ultra-performance tires on the market right now and works quite well on our Camaro.

Agreed, changing out the rubber/wheels is generally the biggest cheapest performance difference one can make on a stock car. Unless of course ur car comes with great rubber/wheels stock.

I have been running 255/50/16 for years and love it. Super stable and wide as hell tires.

Re: Which tire size to get?

I got new tires today and they didnt have any 235/55/16's. I got the 255/50/16's and I like them so far.
