Post by: Killergimp2004 on April 23, 2003, 04:59:30 PM
Im looking at buying new tires cause im just not getting traction....i was wondering what tires im looking at buying either KUMO ECSTA 712s or Yokahama AVS ES100 which ones would be better? and could i go to a 255 60 16 tire without a problem?.................and what suspension would you recomend im considering just goin to autozone and buying the struts front and rear that they have ?

245/50/16 is the stock size, I thinka 60 tire would be a bit too big. I'm not sure you'd be able to run a 255 up front, but you should have no problem out back.

I'd go with Monroe Sensa-Tracks for struts. Better then the Gabriel's Autozone sells.

Your ABS will have fitz if you do not have tires (front and rear) that are the same distance around, this will put you all over the road when you hit your brakes and could even cause an accident!!!

255 is wayyyy to wide for you wheel well without spacers!  60's are crap IMO and no good in the corners.  You are best with a sticky 245-50/45.
