if your thinkin about a 205/65
i would highly suggest lookin at a 225/50
same height, 1 inch wider tread.
i went from a 205/60, to a 225/50 on the sube, and it was HONESTLY
the best "bang for the buck" i ever noticed.....




dont go taller, go shorter
dont go skinnier, go wider

Close, I just bought a set of 215/45/16 Azenises off of discount tire for $400, edgeracing is $401 and change, but that's definitely the closest

So should i just bring in like a screen shot of Discount Tire or Tire Rack when i want to get some tires?
Yes, anyone's price from anywhere ... including Edgeracing.com

Fire up something on the web, and add shipping ... screen cap & print and bring to AutoTire or just call 'em on the phone to pre-negotiate

note I'm not an AutoTire employee, just the mastermind of this program for my own selfish needs and those of my track buddies

Located across from the mega strip malls in Chesterfield Valley, yes, there's a Bob Evans near there somewhere

edgeracing sucks bad, no good tire selections at all, no variety. if i want any kind of wide tire then i would have to get one for a 20+inch rim.
