Fulda Extremo's if you can find them

Kuhmo Ecxta's are fine too and inexpensive

Ventus is also another good one

whatever you do, do not get the wal-mart Goodyear VIVA Touring tires, they suck on water, and don't handle at all. I'd say get some kumho ecsta MX's, great tire for the money

275's all round is a bad idea...

you must be retarded.

i have been running 275's on all four on both my procharged 98 and 99 GT vert for 4 years and will never use a different size again.

best handling with good street manners

Toyo Proxes T1R, if you got the $$, I love mine, no matter what the weather, even though mine are all a bit wider lol But you running a narrower tread should handle even better in the wet weather.

he's right. i have 275 all around on my car. 2 Nittos on the rear and 2 Kumhos on the front. the car pulls and is very touchy and sensitive when you turn the wheel. stay with 245 on the front.

only reason i did it was to be a cheapass. i wanted new rear tires but needed front ones. so i bought DRs for the rear and put my old rear street tires on the front. big mistake.
