I've had summi's on my car for about 5 yrs now. For the price that you pay for them they're a pretty good tire. What size tires are you planning on getting?

With that size tire you will probably have to roll your fenders..

Good tires for the price as others said, I take it you are looking at their HTZ line?

I wouldn't recommend them in any type of cold weather though (they lose all their grip below 45 F).

Alright soldier I'm not sure i want to do that... What the biggest wheels and tires I can get for a newedge without any mods? I wana stick with 17" but adjust the widths I guess...

Edit: I looked on am for the 17"x10.5" and almost all the reviews said that they do fit with a 315/35 on a newedge. The only problem is a simple brake line that needs to be moved

From the research I have done it looks like a 275 upfront works well

If you look at the picture below you can see that my car is lowered some what. I'm running 18's tho with a 285 tire and a one inch spacer. Once I return from Korea I'll be ditiching the spacer and going with some Mickey Thompson Street Raidials which will be 305/35/18. Those things are like 300 + a pop so I cannot afford to get my tires cut up by the fenders lip. Since you're going with 17's you should be able to go to a 305 tire with no problem. Is your car lowered any?

Nope it's completely stock. I'm just looking for the deep dish look if you can understand.
