Since alot of people are still new to the Sentra world, I need to ask you guys this.

On a 16x6 inch wheel, factory, the tires that came on it are 195x55h16s, and in this size there is only one tire made and manufacture. Firestone Firehawk GTA, they suck. Anyways I want to upgrade the car with better tires. I can get 205x50v16s, BUT, my car will be going 1.7% too fast per miata.net calc. Now, the 195 already has a little buldge on it from the factory but for me to get a better tire, I have to upgrade. I get a better selection and speedo calibration if I go with 215x50v16s, but I think that is too wide for that size wheel. Any help would be appericiated guys. Thanks

I found these in 215/50R16's:

BFG g-Force T/A and Comp T/A VR4 say they will fit a 6.0 -7.5 inch rim

What about 205/45/16?

How do you really know that it's the tire size causing the car to s***? You can't expect a Sentra to handle like a Maxima, they are different beasts. I mean my friend picked up a $11,000 Hyundai Elantra GLS and it came with Michelin XGT H4's all around. Those would cost over 140 each for a Maxima, with the Max tires costing about 92 for replacement. Maybe you should check out the XGT H4 in the stock size but they will be very expensive.

Hey, the Sentra is all the part that a maxima is, simply scaled down. I've driven Russ's car, and let me say that the one thing that stands out is those CHEAP *** firestones. They literally stink when pushed. As for overall confidence driving the Sentra Vs. the 2kmax he had.
different east no, same beast in smaller package.
And remember it son't take a BIG dog to get the job done; "little dogs will take a chunk out too."
You can quote me on that

Mr. Rose

Now only if this forum had instant spell check. damn typing suks! sorry Johnny, hope you could read that.
