P245/45/r17?
Well, since I haven't found anyone to buy these wheels Im prob. gonna have to keep them..
This is the tire size on them right now P245/45/R17 I believe that they are 17/8" rims. Is that the best tire size to go with? What kind of tires do you recommend? Don't need any high performance, or run-flats or anything like that. Thanks guys. |

Why in the world is this tire size so expensive?
AM Has Sumitomo's for 89.99ea, Tirerack has Goodyear Eagles for 179.00ea.. WTF?! I think I paid like $182.00 for my last set of tires (when I had original wheels) I expected them to be a little more expensive, but DAMN! What do you guys think about Kumho? Found these for $88.00ea And has anyone ever heard of Nankang? lol they have some for $83.00ea |

welcome to the land of the hundred dollar tire. you get to replace them every 15K miles too. Nitto NT555's wear really slow, so do riken raptors and Kumho 711's (711's are H rated not z rated and you can get a treadlife warranty with non-z-rated tires but not with z rated).

I was gonna say Nitto 555 as well.
Me personally I would jump all over BFG G-sport. GREAT tire for a great price, I believe around $120 a tire, maybe less. |

Well, the website that I found the Kumho's on has a 3year warranty for any issues (nails, screws, anything.). +$45. They are rated 4*'s and the tread pattern looks freakin' sweet! Like $409 for all 4..

I'm still ridin' on stock rims and I've got a buddy that owns a tire shop. 4 brand new Copper A/W's with balance and an alignment for $150. Lookin' forward to drivin' with new rims next year, but not lookin forward to buyin' the rubbers for them.
