Tires

[GNGIRL87]

I'm looking to get 275/60/15 rear and 235/60/15 front tires from Mickey Thompson.

First question do you think this is a nice fit to the car?

Second should I go with sportsman tires or ET Street tires?

Third does anyone know where a good place to purchase them in the PA area or online?

 

[in the elevens]

that is a very common set up on g/n's

i would go with the st's

you can get them very inexpensive via mail order.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you tell me what is the difference between the street and the sportsman?
I'm trying to go with which ever one is better.

Also, what is better to get white lettering or black? I was thinking black because it goes with the car?

Thanks for the welcome glad to join!

235/60/15's up front...and 275/60/15/s out back.

Thanks everyone for all the help this is great! Thanks 87Granny I'll be giving him a call today!

Can I put ET radials on the back and sportsmans on the front or do you normally stay with the same tire front and back?

You can mix and match, it really doesn't matter. Some folks are obsessive/compulsive and their tire tread patterns HAVE to match, but when you start dealing with drag radials, most of the time that theory goes out the window.

Scooby what tires are you running on?

 

[GNGIRL87]

Thanks that helps I was thinking I would run MT ET Radicals on the back and sportsman On the front. I'm guessing that is duo able but is it the best?

Depends on usage of car. If you plan to race often, the ET street radials are great. If the car will be used mostly on the street than the Sportsmans should be fine. The ET street radials are softer, stickier, and won't last near as long either.

Glad this post started. Went with the suggestion of 235 60 15 all the way around and very happy with that look. Thanks

I wouldn't use a 275 on a stock rim. Widened, yes. I don't think the side walls look right on a stock rim.
