NEW TIRES HELP!

[Jessie]

Hey guys I'm looking to get new tires right now, what do you think of this set up? Firestone Firehawk GTs (245/45r20) I have 20' oem rims btw

[Sir Nuke]

well remember, the fronts and the backs are different sizes.

seeing as you too have a V6, and are in Texas.....I would recomment the General GMAX AS-03, good price, they wear good, are fairly quiet, and LAST. I've had them on my car for 10,000 miles and they still look like new.

Had the Firehawk GTs on my Mustang... they sucked.

Wait so running (245/45r20) on all fours isn't going to work? Because the dude said their take offs from a 13' challenger.
Selling for pretty cheap like 500 for all 4s

you have the 20 OEM wheels, so you mentioned......the fronts are 20 x 8 and came with 245/45's on them, and the rears are 20 x 9's and had 275/40's. if you want to run the same size tires of all 4 corners, either get 2 more fronts and put the 245/45's all the way around OR get another set of rears anbd run 275/40's all the way around.

There are a LOT of us that are running the rears (20 x 9's w/ 275's) on all 4 corners.

a set of tires or the wheels?

you can get the tires at both Tire Rack or Discount Tires.....they run about $200 each. The wheels, you would only need two, seeing as how you have two already....check eBay, or the market here.

Nuke, I'm planning to get 275/35/20 for my rears, is that a good setup? instead of being 275/45/20. Oh and their falken brand

[caverman]

You should look into the BFG Comp 2 or the new Mickey Thompson streets. Don't go with the cheapsest tires you can find. Spend a little more and get a good brand. You should also stick to the 275/45/20 IMO.

BTW: I've been running 20x9 with 275 on all 4 corners for over a year now. That's the way to go if you can. I picked up some used polished rears for $125 ea and sold my fronts for like $80 ea.

Here this might help !

I have used this several times when Buying tires.. I finally settled with 315/35/20 in the rear and 275/40/20 in the front. But I have after market wheels with 11 rears

[Jessie]

So I just checked the boxes my rims came in and all 4 of them are 20x9.

Jessie.....the way to go would be to go with 275/40/20's that is the stock size for our 20's

I think all four of my wheels are running so 20x9. That means they're staggered right? So I go 275/40/20 on all fours? Sorry if these questions sound stupid lmao. Im clueless
