    I got 275 and 285's (Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP) and those things grip like you wouldnt believe. They were $192 and $200 and everything about the tire is perfect. Great ride and low noise factor. But just like any Z-Rated tire, watch out for sand on cornering.

      275's and 285's will be too wide for the 17 x 8 rims. I'd get 255 or 265 width tires. my new kumho 255 width tires look really good on my stock rims. it sticks out a little more on each side, maybe 1/2 inch more compared to the 235-55's.
