  • Tire question

    Hey guys I'm looking into getting some new tires and I wanted to know if you all thought I should stay with the 235/55/16 or go to a 245/50/16? The 245 is actually like a 1/2 inch shorter so how much will this through my speedometer off? Thats my main concern. Thanks for all the help. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

    I had 245's on my old stock rims and never had any problems. It actually helped the handling a little bit with the extra "footprint". Not by much, but personally I think they look better. No difference in the spedo either.

      I put a set of Goodyear Eagle GT II 245/50/16 and they lasted pretty long considering how i beat on my car!!

        Go with P245/50 or P255/50R16 tires, the P235/55 size is not cheaper and only comes in fair tire types (i.e. non high performance)
