I have the EVO 3 wheels and need to get new tires.
The correct size (225/45R16) have very little to choose from, I have read that the original tire size equated to 24" diameter. The only choice on Tirerack for me would be the Toyos R1R which are speced at 23.9" Diam., These are extreme summer performance tires which isn't really what I was looking for.
From what I have read, some folks opt for 205/50R16 because the greater variety of options, Many say that they are too tall and narrow. I was looking at Bridgestone Comp-2 A/S which actually have a diameter of 24" (when mounted on a 6.5 inch rim. They do fit a 7.5 rim.
I do not track or drive the crap out of the car. Mostly cruising while getting adventurous in some winding roads. I have a mild suspension upgrade, H&R Sports with Bilstein HD.
I'm torn on which way to go and was wondering if anyone has made a similar decision or what your general thoughts on this is.
