rubber bands!
 
Seems like everyone on here has something other than stock rims/tires from what I've researched :dubs: ...I think I'm going to go with a 205/45/16 or a 195/45/16 since our usual 195/50/16 is so rare, what do you think abt the size?.....

Should I have any troubles?

205/45s are pretty good and you won't have any fitting issues. They're also usually cheaper than 195/50s and 205/50s. 215/45s will work, too, but there are even fewer choices in that size than 195/50. 195/45s are a little small for our cars. Are you looking for summer or A/S tires?

thx for the info Josh...I live in the south, so looking for A/S tires...something with a decent tread pattern.

I hear you--Falken 912s in 205/45 are probably my next tire. Check 'em out at edgeracing.com.

hell the way the weather has been, might has well get summer tires lol...havent seen some solid rain here in a few months.

The only reason I run A/S is because we get ice or snow a few times each winter. If all we got was rain, I'd just run summer tires. Maybe look at some Kumho SPTs, I heard they're great in the rain.
