Just looking for feedback on these tires in our climate. They'll be going on 18" stockers....

Thanks

By some 20's for your car and stop being cheap...lol... Dunlops are cool but I think the sidewalls wear a little faster. Get a set of Toyos and call it a day.

Lol, I'm only going 18's. Stock 18's that is. Not into the show stuff too much... 19's will be dangerous (will result in the need for BBK)

Get the 20's...lol...Nah seriously though do the 19's I mean check the classifieds you may find a pair for the same price you are going to pay for the 18's. Also you won't need a big brake kit for the 19's, your stockers will work just fine.

imo 19's look too small with a bodykit...without, they look good....also have to consider clearance...when I took my 20's off and put the 18's back on, I scraped like a mother...

Lets not forget we live in new england. In my experience, even 19's have given me trouble with potholes.

IMHO 18's are perfect for the G.

My friend has Dunlop sport maxx's, and they are so-so for ride quality and looks. I would recommend going with Toyo's.

^^18's = no drop, otherwise you will scrape everywhere and imo looks down right goofy with any body modifications...but that's just my opinion

agreed. I think since Mass seems to be staying stock I'd do 19's just to fill the gap in the wheel well. Sell him your Madios!
