255/50/r16's...

These, when compared to the bald 235/55s that were on my car only a few hours ago, RULE!!!

i have no experience with suspension mods traditionally, but i no longer feel the need to slow down going into corners! HIGHLY recommend these to anyone, i got them for $107 apiece cuz i'm a badass and they are federales, noname brand, but i really don't have preference with tires. i can't peel out unless i'm turning now and then it's barely, so it's really handy for racing or merging because i used to leave 300ft black marks on the road [img]smile.gif[/img] which was fun, but i was sick of it.

just my $.02, these babies ROCK! AND they look cool.

Interesting...I was thinking of getting new tires but thought 245 was the most I could pack onto the stock rims. I thought I heard people complaining about 255's or osmething. So theirs no spacing problems or anything? If you like em so much I'll have to pick me up some :D

no there is no problems, i havee 255/50/16's on mine and they're pretty good, decent straight line traction, awesome cornering(compared to stockers), and they look good...

Firehawk 255/50ZR/16s. They look nice and fat on the car, totally mean [img]smile.gif[/img] My dry and wet traction improved tremendously over the gay Goodyear Eagles. Oh and the tread looks really tight as well, gotta love that V traction line!

federales? like chicano slang for "cops"? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

yeah, what a difference some tires make though... i got in a bind this summer and had to put sears tires on my car, and boy did they ever hold up! soft, too... maybe a little too soft because until i got used to them, they felt like marshmallow tires!

i now swear by tire rack... good prices, reasonable and fast shipping, and most tire shops charge like, $10 a wheel to mount and balance [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

Tirerack will tell you 255 is too big, but don't listen to them, cuz it fits just fine. In fact I did appreciate that they called me before sending the tires asking if I was sure I wanted 255s! Great customer service from those guys. But ya, 255s will over hang your rim slightly which is exactly what I wanted because its a curb guard for your rims when you parallel park!

Wow, I got 245/50/ZR16 Pirelli Pzeros for $104 a corner... you spent more and got a no-name brand? [img]smile.gif[/img] You are a badass for sure... lol (sorry had to say it)
