QUESTION: Gotta get new tires...

I need to get 4 new tires, but I can deal with getting 2 new front tires at the moment. (On a budget)

I just realized that the dealer (when I bought the used car) swapped the tires out for me, cause the chrome OEM rims were not doing it for me, and they put 245 size tires on all 4. You are suppose to have 225 in the front and 245 in the back.

What tires are good, I don't want the most expensive, but something in the middle. My friend was saying he got Toyo Proxies 4, I think and they were not bad. Just wanted some suggestions.

I really would like new wheels too. I wanted "GLEX25" Racing Harts...still do, but I know they went to someone else. Boooooo LOL

You can have 245's on all corners without a problem, just make sure that the sidewall series is smaller than the rears.

As far as tires suggestions, the Proxes 4 are good tires. Hankook Ventus are K104 are nice as well and cheap. What is your budget?

I have the Toyo Proxyes 4 on my 18's. Overall I'm very pleased with them. I think they are one of the best all-season high performance tires for this car for the money.

They gave me a good price for them, but since I have winter tires, I would rather have summer performance tires.

Got....TIRES?

You're better off with the 245s in front, works for me. Check with places like
the TIRERACK for quality tires at a bargin price. Looking for wheels, check out our very own Marketplace. Maybe you could find a deal on wheels/tires
close to you....G/L
