Re: tires

i would recommend going with a 235/60 R15 alllll the way around, BF Goodrich Radials hook up great. IMO

Re: tires

+1 on the 235/65-15. excellent tire size, looks good and performs better than stock. kind of an odd size, but really even the cheaper tires in that size will be good performers. mounted and balanced I pay about $90 a tire.

Re: tires

I have Mirada < I think thats how its spelled Sport GTX tires, 225/50/15 up front and 225/60/15 rear. I paid $360 for the tires mounting and balancing. I really like these and I have never broken loose no matter how much I give it in the twisties. They probably aren't the best on the market but for the price I think they are a great value.

Re: tires

Not sure what size I bought, probably 235/60 R15, I know I got em' wider than what's on the sticker. I'd tell ya to get some Cooper Cobras, by far the best looking tire ever made w/ the white lettering out and sticky too. Think I bought all 4 and had them mounted and balanced for $400.
