I've had some recent issues with my wheels, and I don't really
have time to deal with it right now. My temporary solution will
be to put stock 8.5" tt rear wheels on all 4 corners with some
decent tires. These are my options:245/45/16:
Hankook Ventus R-S2
Fuzion ZRi
Sumitomo HTR Z
Yokohama AVS ES 100
Additional options...
245/50-16:
BFG g-Force Sport
Avon Tech M550 A/S
BFG g-Force Super Sport A/S
Kumho Ecsta ASX
Sumitomo HTR+
I excluded the 245/50 tires that are also available in the
245/45 category.
I would like to stay close to $100/tire if possible. I may go up
as far as $130 if it's really worth it for a specific tire. I've
heard that the Hankooks are a good tire, the Sumitomos have
a soft sidewall, the yokos stick but have poor tread wear, and
I don't know anything about the Fuzion.
I don't put a lot of miles on the Z, and I only drive it in dry
weather typically. I'd like the ability to auto-x or drag race on
these tires safely, but I'm not expecting to do so. My street
driving is somewhat spirited but I'm usually not very hard on
tires.
Are there any options that I'm missing? Of the 4 stock sized
options, which is the best for the money?
Can 245/50-16 tires be run with 8.5" wheels on all 4 corners
without rubbing? My car is lowered but I can raise it if need
be.
Thanks for any input. I've never used any of these tires as I'm
not used to buying tires for stock wheels.
