Hi wasup guys im changing the tires on my car iono the exact size of the rim but heres what they look like

I was wondering if i should put goodyear f1 d3's on em 245/45's in front and 275/40's in back they are 17 in rims...

or should i go for cheaper tires? i heard these tires are mostly used on vettes and stuff...so yeh gimme your suggesttions!

 

Problem is, if you buy 17" tires and have 16" rims...they WON'T fit. You need to read the tire size on the tires you have now. The last 2 digits are the rim size. Ie: 245/60R16 means you have 16" rims.

 

but i said there 17's...

tire says 245/45zr17

=P

 

Ok..the first line you wrote was a little confusing..Yes, they would fit. If the back rims are wide enough..9 or 10"ers...
Front ones..no sweat even on stock width rims...

Hope that makes sense...I think I confused myself on that one. LOL

 

thx but this is not a question about if it would fit...im asking what brands or kinds of tires you guys reccomend

 

OHHH..hehe...sorry. Depends on what you are gonna do. I like Kuhomo, Pirelli's, Michelin's, and for autocrossing, Yoko's or Hoosiers.


EDIT~
Now you see why I usually stay out of tire threads. LOL

 

mainly for daily driving and occasionally messing around driving on windy twisty turny roads a.k.a Redwood from Castro Valley to Oakland might try doing autocrossing this summer w/ a friend

 

I'd look at the Kuhomo line. They are a good cross breed. Good in both daily driving, and autocrossing. That is what I was looking at when I sold the girl.


We used to make the Redwood Road run a LOT when I was in my 20's. We did time runs from Skyline to the golf course turn in CV. I did it in my Ranger work truck(filled with parts and supplies) in a tad over 14 minutes. Not bad for a loaded down 4banger. And lets just say, I had a lot of stuff to put back in the parts bins when I was done! And I got her up on 3 tires a few times! [8D]

 

lol 14 mins huh interesting....i havn't did a timed run yet prolly when i get my tires how much is good to spend like around 100-150 is 220 too much?? and what do you mean but i got her up on 3 tires a few times

 

For all 4? HELL NO! Great price.
And I mean I got her up on 3 wheels a few times by going around some of the twisties a bit..BIT too fast. LOL
