I'll post pics but I'm not putting them on until I get the car ready for the road. I need to replace the battery cables, trans lines and get a new battery, then it'll be ready.
Here they are...I originally wanted 245/45/17 and then changed my mind to 235/45/17 but they didn't have the Falkens in 235 so i got them in 245. It's like I was suppose to get 245's. They're a hair taller than the original size tire, I like my speedo to be somewhat accurate. Since they offer winter tires in 14's I may keep my oldies for winter use or just as full size spares for my car. They're rated to 168 MPH but odds are good I'll never get that close til I replace the engine. My only complaint is the load index is 95, 1521 lbs. Normally I try to get 1650 or so and higher. Bridgestone has some around 1700 lbs. A couple more lbs of air in the tires may stiffen them up a bit, I did it with the 14's but they had a lot more sidewall on them. It was these or a set of Primewells and these cost just a little more than the Primewell sport tires. I wanted to go budget at the least, not Cheap Pete cheap. I would have gotten a set of Bridgestones if I didn't need to get other parts for the car. The wheels are weight indexed at 1800 lbs each.
