Tire size

[pitaSHO]

OK. I am going to use slicers for now for my track tires, which are 225/50/16 Falken Azenas. I was going to use my new TD PR2's but have decided to keep those as DD wheels. Since they are 7" wide, what tire size will I need to fill out the width comfortably? I am looking for an all weather tire. I know the 225/50/16 is the widest tire I can fit on a slicer, and it is considerably shorter than the stock 215/60/16 size; so how do I get a wider tire that is stock height or maybe a little shorter? I looked at the hot links at the beginning of this section, but did not see the info I was looking for. It says to use a 225/50/16 for a 7" wide rim, but I was wanting to be a little close to stock height.

Thanks.

225/55/16 would be my choice!

225/55/16 is the same size as a 215/60/16 except its a lil wider, so that'll work fine. I run 225/50's on my TD's on the street

Cool. Thanks, James. That's what I needed.

Merry Christmas a little early.

Another vote for 225/55/16. I had used this tire size for my winter T-Bird 16X7 rims .....
