I gotta put some new tires on REAL soon. Got stupid, but I won't say what I did to flat spot my rear tires to the cords.

It appears I have 3 choices for tire sizes, 235-50-ZR18, 145-45-ZR18, or 255-45-ZR18. I have the 235's now, because they are basically the same size as the factory tires, 27.3" tall. The 245's are 26.6" tall, and the 255's are 27", but a little wider at 10" vs 9.6", and all 3 weigh 27 lbs.

Does anyone see any reason the 255's won't work? They are a little more mobey, but I'm not sure which tire I'm going to get yet. It's between the Goodyeat Eagle GT, Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2, and the General Exclaim UHP.

I now work about 15 minutes from the South Bend Tire Rack, so that'll probably be hard to beat.

Right now Tire Rack has a special on the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-2 in 245-45-ZR18 for $99 ea, and a $50 rebate on 4 tires.

The down side is they are only a 300 A A rating. However we have these on our Solstice GXP and that has just under 20,000 miles on them, and still have lots of tread life.

Opinions?

 

you mean these 255/45/18? both cars are lowered btw and yours not and i don't see why wouldn't they.

 

wow man those two cars are awesome looking, great pictures

 

It should fit the rim fine....

However, going with a "fatter" or "taller" tire than OEM will make your over all gearing SLIGHTLY taller which equals SLIGHTLY slower off the line....will you notice? hard to say! Also, it will throw off the odometer a bit, nothing overly significant though (we are talking 10th's of a mile)....

Tire Rack offers great deals for sure! I've had really good luck with them........

From what I just looked at for that tire size, the Goodyear for $99 is screamin deal man! I'd buy them!
