im thinking about putting on some 16" irocs on my camaro.....but i have one lil thing im worried about....from people pictures i have n oticed something...some peoples 245/50/16's have very straight and rigid sidewalls indicating a lower pprofile design.....other i have seen though have the more pillowy sidewall.....now my questiong is what tires ahve the straight sidewall and do you have a pic of them you could show?

 

ttt...com'on guys just show me some tires

 

you have to make sure your getting your info right but if it's true then alot has to do with the brand of tire.

although i'm guessing what you think your seeing is a more common 245/50 tire versus something like a 255/45 tire which will make for a much more 90degree profile angle.

 

well ive even seen it on my cousins car...he has elcheapos on the back and yokohamas on the front and the fronts are much straighter...prolly more side wall integrity or somethin

 

I would agree with Kandied, it would be the quality of tire, I had pacesetters on my old GTA 16"s and they looked and drove like garbage, and on the other hand my comp T/A HR4's look and drive why better and even those are considered a budget tire.

Just spend a little more $$$ for a good set of rubber.
