Ground rules:
The car is exclusively driven on the city streets and highways, at about the legal speed limit. High speed tires are not required.

The car has a V6 with a 5 speed, and a limited slip 3:55 rear gear. Massive sticky tires will be a waste of money.

I will be buying all 4 tires, and all will be the same size, I have 6 1/2" and 7" wide 15" diameter wheels.

Tires must be budget friendly, $200 each tires are too much once all the other required crap is added on.

Currently, the car has 10 year old Michelin 235.75.15 and I like them very well, but they are a bit large, and are very old. New tire size will be around 215.70.15, and they will be mounted black wall out.

New Michelin defender 215.70.15 will run around $650 total out the door price, which is at the top end of the budget.

See the pictures of the car in question.

What tire brands are good tires these days? Gene


Come on, that thing won't do 65 off a cliff. Ok, just kidding. Coker has got lots of choices that might fit your "décor". Not cheap though. Wheels need to be color keyed to the car. Wide whites would be cool, or just black walls. I wouldn't go bigger than 70 series if you want the same sizes front and rear with those width wheels.
