I have come up with some choices for my 16 inch rims and would like to hear comments.
Goodrich and Gooyear have "traditional" tires -- 285/60/R16 and 295/50R16 --that will fit in the rear, S and T speed rated.
Cooper has a 295/60R16 - T rated. Looks OK.
And Kumho has a 265/45R16 with a W speed rating.
All of the above would fit and be within a reasonable range of my existing 275/50R16 Goodrich Comp T/A.
In addition, Hoosier has a wet radial 275/45ZR16. They say the tire is for competition and not street use, but what's the difference? I have also seen some posts where people have run wet tires for up to 20,000 miles on the street. And I have run wet tires in the past and have not had any problems.
There is also a 295/50R16 from Micky Thomson, which is intended for drag racing and "regular" street use, but they do not recommend it for what they call "hard cornering."
Any thoughts out there without confusing me further or forcing me to buy new rims.
