Hey guys. I been looking for new tires. I want some nice looking tires, with durability and good gas mileage. Ihave 2002 ls sport chrome wheels (16'). I want some wide tires, any suggestions pls. Post pics of your wheels if you want. thanks.
I'm not sure how wide you can or can't go with your tires... But if your looking for durability and gas mileage I know Michilan has like a 80k miles/6 year warranty on their tires. You might want to try tire rack or a similar site and look up all the tires that fit your car (they have most all brands/model tires) and make your decision there. Then you get several reviews and ratings for the tires in different weather conditions and etc...
I've heard 225/50R16 is the widest you can go...
can someone show me a pic of some 225/55r16
I just got the dunlop sport signatures off of tirebuy.com for $423 installed. They have a $25 off coupon code and free shipping for july. I love the tires and they are warrantied for 60,000 miles. The have awesome grip too for high performance all seasons.
If you want better gas mileage, I would stick with 205/55R16 and make sure they are properly inflated. If you want to sacrifice a small amount of gas mileage for a small performance increase, then go with 225/50R16.

On the stock 6 inch wide wheel I wouldnt go wider than a 205, hell a 205 is just a tad too big.
