dr's

There are plenty of discount tire stores in michigan. They can get Nitto's and BFG's within a couple of days. Nitto's are 245 50r16 and the BFG's are 255 50r16. Enjoy!!

yeah ordered some bfg, which the 255 just doesnt look good to me. so i ended up getting a set of 245 nitto's which seem to hook up really nice


if you ask nicely too.....most places can heat cycle the tires for you even

why do you think they don't look good? I was thinking of getting a set for mine but havn't seen them. I thought a beefier tire would look good, no?

i just didnt like the "fat" tire look on a stock 8" rim. it is perfectly safe to run a 255 on a 8"rim though, as i've done it plenty of times before.


we will see if the 245 hooks well on the track

the nitto's must have been warn, your not going to drop a tenth from a tire that isnt slipping to another tire that isnt slipping, just my experiences

i just didnt think the fatter tire looked good on my car, its only my opinion.....
