Here’s where to discuss anything specific about your standard(ish) car or something that applies to the model in general.

I received my new tires yesterday. Sumitomo HTR 200's 205 60 HR13. They were $47.00 each and delivered to my door was $228.00. The tread looks reasonable aggressive without being to boy racer. Had them mounted today and installed the rims back on the car. It is raining cats and dogs so I will have to wait for a first drive impressions.

Anyway thanks for all of your help with this and maybe others will stumble upon this thread and have some of their questions answered.

Scott , I've got BFG 205-60's on my factory rims, and have not had any problems with rubbing or such......other than the fact that they were a b***** to get on the stock steel wheels due to their width. [B)]

Ron,

Did the BFG's come with the writing whited out?
