got some new shoes...
I just put these on last week. 255/50/16 all around i think they really fill up the wheel wells. The tires are BFG G-force sports.

Around 107.00 a tire thru tirerack.com. I love how they handle. And They stick great! much better then the Futura Zs i had. Even out of the hole.
I havent had them long, but they are the best all around tire, ive ever had on this car. Heres what the tread looks like.

i have 255's on the rear. i have 245's up front. i was wondering if i could go bigger than 255 in the rear. and then switch to a 255 in the front. (so you can turn lock to lock with no rubbing?)
i have only about 6 months worth of driving on them, but i did so some auto-xing and quite a few burnouts so the rears arent in the best of shape, but still about 50% left. the fronts id say have a bout 75-80% tread left.
and i only paid $94 a piece through tire rack for the 255's, only $90 for the 245's

I just bought my son a set of the g-force sport for his sentra spec v. I do recommend them. He has the 17" wheels. Tires ran about $156 with bal, road hazard and all the other frekin fees from a local tire shop.

No rubbing...255s are about the best your gonna get with a 16x8 rim. That look right.. you can get tires in a wider/taller size, but there still a 50 series so the sidewall is too tall doesnt look right imo.
They seem to be going up in price.
I had a chance to get the car out on the highway. With the new tires and subframes the car is on rails thru the turns. I love these tires...they feel really good at the limit. IM impressed with straight line traction too.
