Tire and Wheel fitment Q&A

mrnickleye · 12-21-2005, 07:00 AM

I've had my car 3.2 years. It came with stock wheels and some Falkens that had about 60% tread left. 225's F&R. The receipt was in the glove box. They lasted 35k miles. They were very good handling tires (I do tend to push it hard in the mtns).

I looked for a month at wheels. I did not want to spend alot, because wheels for daily drivers get beat up. I ordered these. I've never seen them on any car but mine.

I went to Kumho next. 245's on rear, 225's front. They hang on to the curves real good. The rears seem to only last 1/2 as long (10k) as the fronts (22k). OK, OK, maybe I push it a little hard.

I just put Yokohama on. 225's F&R. They have a much higher tread wear rating. They seem to handle very good. I'll let you know after I take a run in the mtns.

I run Goodyear Eagle F1's 245/50-16's front and rear on my 89 N/A. I have them on stock sawblades painted with Rustoleum Hammered Black. I think these tires would be used by more people if they could afford them. They are kinda expensive but worth it to me. I shop for tires at tirerack.com I read all the reviews from the owners of different types of cars using them then I go to Discount Tires and use the tirerack price as a bargaining chip to get them to match the onlione price as close as possible. I have also bought directly from TireRack a great company especially for info if your looking for a tire and what people are saying about them.
