New Tires

[TUFF_350]

Hey guys,

looking to 2 new rear tyres today as I have mysteriously worn my oldies down past the wear bars & pretty much into ultra slickness (can't quite put my finger on how tho lol). Neways I have stockies on @tha moment 205 55 R16 & was just wondering wat the max width is that I can go? Yes i want to keep the 16s cant afford rims yet

Thanx in advanced!

On a Gts-t 265s are the widest you would get under your guards without scrubbing - but I am not sure you can get 16s that wide. Definitely go wider than 205s though - that is not enough rubber for standard power. 235s are probably the go sweet spot between price and grip.

Thanx buddy, appreciate the info. Short notice to the tyreshop unfortunately they only had 225's & i culdn be bothered ringing around. Im getting Nankang NS2's 225 55 R16 for $130each fitted...good price?

yeah sounds about right - may be a tad expensive, but I haven't bought 16s for many years. I take it you still have stockies? You should buy one of my sets of rim (insert shameless plug here)

i wouldnt go bigger then the 205 on stockies if u go 235 it A) will look gay B) have a massive amount of sidewall flex just get some s/h tyres and save for some decent width rims 17 x 8.5 17x 9.5 in around the +20 offset

or C) less traction
