Winter rims are stock chrome "diamond cut" 17". Tires on them now are Goodyear Ultra Grip winter tires, 235-55-17's. GREAT winter tires!

Summer wheels are Eagle Alloy chrome 077s. Tires are BFG's GForce KDWS 235-50-18s. The price was right. They're OK.

I just upgraded to the 17" chrome monte wheels. they came with 2 brand new 235/55/17 goodyear rsa so I bought 2 new rsa to match. I don't seem to have a prob with the rsa. my cornering seems a little bit improved but the ride is just a tiny bit rougher. it seems the rsa are a little bit stiffer than my 225/60/16 goodyear eagle ls that I run on my stock 16' rims. the goodyear ls tires are very very quiet and the ride was a little better with the softer ls tires. I guess me and chibi are the only ones who don't mind the rsa'a.

i have the rsa's also, came on the car. they'll need to be replaced soon, and i think i will stay with them. i don't have anything to compare them to and i've liked them, so. i wish i could find the ones with the yellow goodyear lettering (someone was looking for one of them on here the other day) but i don't want to go crazy looking. there's a goodyear place right down the street from here so i'll probably just stick with the same ones.

Cool

I recently replaced the OEM Goodyear tires with Michelin Hydroedge tires on the stock rims. The Michelins handle great and look cool also!

Falken FK542's on the rims
Fuzion HRI on the stock rims

Love the Falkens little road noise and great grip in the summer and when the road is wet.

HRI a little loud but a great tire for the snow IMO

BFG's GForce KDWS are the factory tires on Mustang GT's... So I'm sure they will perform well on the Monte Carlo. I've looked at them. They're priced very cheap!

I was going to wait till they arrived, I ordered these rims and tires last week. I should have them on my car by the weekend or early next week. Boss 328 rims with Falken ze912 P245/45R18's. Can barely wait......
