Tire size
I usually run Toyo Proxy 4s on my iroc, but hear they don't make 245/50/16 anymore. Does anyone know what other size 16 inch Toyo tires I can use that won't rub or throw off the speedometer? Thanks in advance!

Re: Tire size
Look for a tire around 25.7 tall and your good. Toyo and any othe manufacturers will have these specs listed.

Wider 16" tires are and becoming obsolete, might be time to upsize the wheels to 17

BFGoodrich Sport Comp 2. Either in all season or performance. Will set you back about $125 per corner from TireRack.

Re: Tire size
You can run 225-55-16 tires in the place of 245-50-16 sized ones.

Problem is that Toyo doesn't offer anything in that size these days either.
