yeah i was just on there still having difficult time deciding what tire...im going to stick with 245/60r16 cuz there are no tire options for 255/55/16
right now im trying to decide between falken ze912 which is not on tire rack...or michelin pilot sport a/s plus or general tire altimax hp or stick with the falken ze 512 which i have up front
