Look at those PUNEY n/a 205s, what garbage.. Not only that the tread wear is like 400! They are not sticky tires..

I got these for free, from an 89 supra turbo. They are 225s, the rear ones are pretty much shot, but I'm going to replace them with some top buck 255s..

Bad shot of what they look like. They look just like t2 rims. I'll get some in the light tommorrow, and boy to the wider tires make the car look mean

Eagle GT+4?

just watch the sidewall height when you get those 255s, you dont

want them to look like off road tires.

I don't know what rubber they are off hand. Why would I switch sidewall height if I got wider rubber?

The sidewall number is a ratio, meaning if it's 55 series then the sidewall height is 55% of the width, so if you go wider, you have to drop down to 45 or 50 series.
