The MT SR's look real nice but of course they cost way more then the ST's.
I will most likely get the SR's and they have a higher speed rating (130mph).

Why do you need a higher speed rating? Bigger parking lot?

The 28-12-15 MT SR's may be to big I think.
There the same height as the factory 275-60-15 and the same width as a 295-50-15.
I think they might rub on the outer edges???

Depends a bunch on your wheel offset and your fender profile . I run 325.50.15s on the rear and I don't have any interference.

Also ask yourself; "true use of the car? and budget"
I just got tires from TireCrawler. Had never used them and saved even more $ and they were delivered on time.

I agree with Blown871. depends on your use. strictly street, then I don't think you need super sticky tires. For 14 years I have been using the BFG's. Radial TA's. Suit me just fine. I don't race and almost no spirited driving no runs over 100 MPH.

If you go with the Mickey Thompson SR, you need the 26x10 and 26x12 tires (part number 6653 and 6654).

The 26X12 tires are 1" shorter then the 295-50-15 tires which are 1" shorter then the stockers.
I'm just going to wait until I can measure the fender clearance.
I really don't want a short tire if I can get away with the taller tire.

Believe it or not you already slowed me way down a few years back.
Or maybe it was my tires that turned to butter that taught me that?
Either way i'm still kinda gun shy of lighting them up.

That'll change. On the SPF when using the SR tires Craig is right. 26X12 rear and 26X10 front. My choice is the ST 295/50 rear and 255/60 front. Looks right. Ride height can be adjusted.

This is my SPF with the 26x10 on front and 28x12 on the rear. Rears are very close but haven't been a problem with about 3000 miles on them.

"".Get passed what everyone 'thinks' looks right.
Do what makes YOU happy.
It is a performance car. Try a performance tire.""
I have used 18" Sumo's, Mich.. PS2's and now Bridgestone's Potenas. They are all fine on the street until you hit 10,000 miles. On the track all tires are crap unless you go to a track tire.

yes.. not cheap.
.. but again.. get what tire will make YOU happy. It is supposedly a performance car.. so throw some performance tires on it and enjoy!! And NO.. performance tires don't last. Accept that and smile every mile and every turn.
