Pics of your tires

Well its been a good 3 years now, but my rear tires are gone....wear line is gone, tread is gone, all i have left now is a slick (how could this have happened???) so now i'm looking for new tires. I think i found the tires i like http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....omCompare1=yes. The tires i have on there now are 245/50/r16 all around, but i'm thinking of going a bit larger in the rear. may help with the speedo being slightly off too since putting 3.73 rear in (i got a new VSS for it but its still off).

so i guess i'd like to know what size youre running (preferably on stock 16" rims), and dont leave out any cars that have different size tires in front and back, since i found out a few years ago that i cant swap my front and rear rims.

any help is appreciated since i think i need to get new rear tires soon lol

Re: Pics of your tires

i forgot to add....how would making the rear tires slightly larger affect the handling of the car?

and also i plan on lowering the car an inch or 1.5 inches once i rebuild my hurricane sandy-stricken 350 i was about to put in. so i dont want to go too crazy large in the rears

Pics of your tires-2012-07-13-11.26.24

245/50R16 BFG gforce kdw (no longer available) on front
255/50r16 BFG gforce sport 2 on rear (replaced bfg drag radials of same size)

Had a few compliments on the way they look. Never had anyone say the rears were too big or "look like a trailer park racer" as the guy on your other thread says. suspension is completely stock in this pic. I will be lowering it this spring when it gets warm enough to go out and work on it. Hope this helps.
