[s-cars] Tire Recommendations

[Douglas Landaeta]

Joel,

I followed the crowd, too, with special interest in Lee's experience with
tires... (Boston weather and several vehilces in his garage) ---> Toyo
Proxes 245/45/16, on stock AVUS wheels, got them at 1010tires, but after
their somewhat inflated shipping, prolly could have shaved another 12-13$
off the total price of 4 somewhere else.

Excellent in the wet, first few hundred miles needed to really feel the grip
they have, great Summer tire, of course, now I can feel the slush in the
suspension and the steering a bit more. Perhaps I should rotate them soon?

I did my usual agonizing research before I decided on the Toyos and I am
happy with the choice.  245-40 17s for ~$160 ea from eTires.com.  I hear
from qualified sources that the 255s fit on 8" wide wheels, though the
fitment guide says no.

Great grip, reasonable ride, not too noisy, and way less weight than the
S0-2s that came off.
