I’ve had Federal Super Steel 595 on my car for a couple of years now and they are awesome. Killer tread pattern and they grip and last at the same time. Very affordable also...
245/50-16 all around.

Thanks. Even with the wider tires up front mine is still squirrelly above 70mph. I had the alignment guy add a bunch of camber and I got one of those Bosch kits to restrict the ps pump pressure. It’s better, but still drives like a crappy 80’s car... :0

I run Iroc coils in front with cheap adjustable shocks ,no sway bar , everything else is stock mine don't feel too bad ,I got an anti roll bar in back . Mines more for straight line racing more then anything but finding out if rather have some handling over other things

On my Regal I had 15 x 8 all around and ran 235/60 fronts and 275/60 rears but now I have 17" wheels.
235/60's would work on the front for a 7" rim also. 255/60 are another common size rear tire.

I can't seem to find a source for these. Do they make them anymore?
