DatDoug Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Had a square tire on my car so I bought 2 new tires from Discount Tire. I went with a different size cuz I wanted a skinnier tire on the front. 195-60-15's is what I had & I went with 185-55-15's. I wanted them on the front but Discount Tire has a policy that the best(newest) tires have to go on the back! :confused: WTF? That is bassakwards to me. Anyway it was kinda cool cuz I got to see what they look like on the back as I will be getting 2 more tires when I can affford. Not sure if I want the same size or a lil bigger in back (195-55's) maybe?? Here are pics. what do you think? Quote Link to comment

Trophy24 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Nice Doug, the goon looks awesome with that wheel/tire setup! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Looks great. I think Discount Tire should put the tires wherever you want them. I'm really starting to get tired of all the crap tire places give me...just put the tires on the wheels and shaddup! Sorry for the rant....:lol: 2 Quote Link to comment

I spent 1/2 hour arguing with the youngster about it to the point where I almost left! Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Still no opinions on weather to go bigger in back or the same :poke: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i would go both taller and wider in the back but thats just me 1 Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 185s are too skinny to me. What I currently have and when ever I park next to my friends wagon with 195s I wish I had wider tires. I think I am about to run some 205/50/15 all around on the wagon. Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Laecaon, do you have different wheels or was that a typo? And I like tires to be the same visually front and back. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Laecaon, do you have different wheels or was that a typo? And I like tires to be the same visually front and back. Haha, you caught that. I am planning on new wheels too... Its all lined up, just gotta pay friday when I get my paycheck. Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think some bigger meats in the back would fill the gap better and look good, unless you plan on going moar lower?... 1 Quote Link to comment
DatDoug Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I dont plan on going lower in the back. Id like to but then I would have to cut the driveline tunnel & raise it up so the rearend doesnt hit. I will go with 195-55's. Maybe 205-55's???? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 And I like tires to be the same visually front and back. On a 510, the front tires will always "look" bigger if they are all the same size .... . .. especially with 510 struts,,, then the front wheels stick out more than the back wheels ...... if you can fit bigger tires, do it,,, then you don't need to lower the back to tuck tire Quote Link to comment
FiveTenzo Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 what wheels are those? edit: konig rewind? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Those look like Konig Rewinds to me... Just judging by the bend in the spoke. Quote Link to comment
