Title: need new tires
Post by: ledzeppac on August 24 2007, 04:28:36 PM

I need new tires so Im ready to spend another 500 on my fucking shit box.

What are the sizes everyone uses?

What are some cheap decent tires?  I kinda just want to go to Costco and get the cheapest shit they have..

275/50-15 on the rear 225/60-15 on the front

Goodyear makes a really nice tire and they may not be as expensive as you think. Unless you get the F1 Supercars, $1100 for tires on my Ranger.

As long as you're running radials on stock rims, WTF does it matter?

Get a set of GTAs (or some other 16x8s) and throw the 255/50R16 M/T DRs on the backside....th row crap cheapies up front because, as Greg will tell you- front tires don't matter 'cause turning's for suckers.

Dude, get the cheapest shit you can, unless you're racing. That said said, I've always been a big fan of BFG T/A's.
