Sup fellas,
Well, I need tires for both sets of 16" GTA's.......time to spend some money. I had a deal for 4 lightly used Bridgestone Potenza RE930s, 245/50ZR16s, for 160 bucks, but I was second in line for them.
Other guy took em.
So, I priced the same tire brand new, list is 173 each, but I can get them for 127 each in the 245/50ZR16. Free mounting and balance, and no interest and no payments for 90 days.
My question is......should I run a 225/55ZR16 up front and a 245/50ZR16 out back, or run 4 245/50ZR16s all the way around? (GN) The car sits kinda low. Right now its got some Michelin Pilot 225/50R16s on the front, and they arent tall enough, and it looks funny. They were free, so Im not complaining. I have seen 225/55s on the front of a TR (stock ride height) with GTAs and it looked nice from what I can remember? Anyone have any pictures?
*Heres a picture of the GN with the 225/50s up front and my old 245/50 Nitto Drag Radials on the back.......the fronts look too small!

On the Ttype, I have Sumitomo HTRZ 245/50R16s on the front (rear GTAs with spacer) with some cheeeep asss balddd assss 255/50R16s on the rear (front GTAs). The Sumitomo's are still somewhat okay, I could probably get another summer out of them. But the 245s rub pretty bad up front, I cant turn the wheel full-lock. I was thinking about doing a 225/55R16 on the front of it. I was thinking about just moving the 245 Sumitomo's to the rear and buying a pair of new Sumitomo 225/50R16s for the fronts. Plus, I plan on doing a 2" drop spindle this spring on the car. I dont know..........any input or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas.
