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.
Thats the right size.....get some cheapys like sumitomos your not making that much hp to worry about traction

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
Because 17 Inch tires cost more than 16 inach almost double if not more....Nankong suck Kuhmo are fine I am running them on mine right now.

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.

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.
