Hi guys.

I'm gonna post this in a couple forums here...
I need to find (2) 225/55/16's for my '97.
They will be mounted on the slicers for the winter. Anyone have any kicking around?

Thanks.

I had always heard that for winter driving, a large footprint is not ideal. Rather then a 225/55, why not go for 215/60? They are cheaper too!

Mainly because the car will be sitting for most of the winter....come spring-time the wheels will be going back on the '89 SHO.... If I let the car sit with the Kumho's, they get flat-spotted very easily.

I have two tires, they don't match, but are almost new.

A Yokohama S306 and a Vogue ( lol )

They are both 225/55/16.

If you are just going to use them for storing the car they'll do fine, but since the tread on either is like new, they are usable as well.
