Front tires

[TheDoughboy]

Well I saw a nail in the pass front tires and they are getting down to the wear bars. I want to replace them with the same (factory) size but not sure what tire the Buick's like. I have the Nitto's on the rear, anybody here have stock size Nitto's on the front and like them? I'm in Calif. and drive wet or dry, no snow though. Any input will help

Thanks,

Ron

I've got Nitto's up front, but they are small 225 50 15. My IC inlet is only about 3.5" above the ground. I will go will something like 245s next time.

Doughboy, do I see you in the HP parking lot from time to time?

The HP in Roseville? Sorry it's not me. I am all over the greater Sacto area though. But that reminds I should get a job soon, then I will be spotted in some parking lot day after day.

What Buick are you driving? Drop me an email and maybe we can do lunch and check out our Buick's. According to my schedule I'm pretty open.

235/60-15 is a good size for stock wheels.

IMO, 215/65/15 BFG's are the nicest tire for up front. They are just the right height and just the right width. I'm on my second pair and I love them.

My next set for the front since I'm not putting that many miles on the car since I now have a commuter is going to be some 225/60/15's in probably a Z or W rating since there's a LOT more choices in that size than 235/60/15's and because the 235/60's have a lot of sidewall and are actually taller than the 275/50/15's out back but you really have to look to notice.
