235/60r16 tires.

So as we all know the factory 235/55r16 tires are kinda hard to find a cheap pair for your cars. I went to one of our shops in the area because Walmart wouldn't mount anything except the factory size. I ended up getting 2 discontinued Dunlop signatures 235/60r16s for 65$ a piece and i like the look and that little bit taller tire helps stop the nose of the car from scraping on the drives. My question is what do you guys put on your car to replace your tires?

Re: 235/60r16 tires.

Most people replace the 235/55s with 245/50s, though I liked the 235/55s when I had them. I just last month bought another Camaro that has 225/55s on the 16x8s, and it isn't bad. In the salvage yards I often see people have tried 225/60s and 225/50s. The 60s always look wrong, and the 225/50s are too short.
I suggest not trying 235/60R16s on the front, they'll probably rub, and certainly look wrong. Also, running them on the rear, you'll be going slightly faster than your speedometer shows. About 3.5% error. Or 51.75 at an indicated 50.
