i need new tires. right now, i have 225/55/17 on the stock g35 rims and they rub on hard turns. suspension- kyb agx h&r springs

what tires should i get? i honestly don't need anything performance wise. all seasons are fine enough for me. please keep in mind that i'm an unemployed student so money is very tight :/ i do not want to purchase used tires. i commute almost 70 miles a day, 4 days a week.

what size would you guys recommend so that my tires don't rub?

i really need to buy tires today!!

 

you can do 225/50/17 if you want...that *might* help with the rubbing.

How much do you want to spend? You can get a set of Michelin Defender all seasons for about 100 a tire at Costco iirc (that's what we put on my wife's Outback...a decent allseason tire) or you can spend 150 or more a tire and get Conti ExtremeContact DWS

 

Thanks! I was thinking maybe 225/45/17. As little as possible I don't have a job right now. I saw a set that had 225/45/17XL. What does that mean?

 

Go to your local tire joint and ask them what they have in the back./ A lot of people get rid of fairly good tires.

Might work til you save up for a decent set.

 

Achilles ATR Sport. Quality of a high performance tire but at a cheap price. I had them in my Maxima; they're very meaty and have a excellent grip. They were also good on the rain. I am planning to buy a set on my Celica ($75 per tire for my Celica).

 

How many miles did they last you? I don't need anything performance wise. Just want all season tires that will last me a long time given i drive like a normal human being.

 

How many miles did you get out of them?

 

just put them on less than 8 months ago

 

I think I might shop around at Costco. How much of a difference are 50's vs 45's?

 

well, the 50 and 45 are perentages of the tire width. So if you have a 225/50, that means that 112.5mm is the sidewall. If you have a 225/45, then 101.25 mm is the sidewall. A difference in sidewall of 11.25 mm...which is under half an inch.


If you're talking differences in PRICE...look 'em up yourself

 

Dear student: buy affordable AAA Koreans tires that is going to do well on rain as well on dry climate (manufactured in China or Korea)

 

spam?

 

Ive looked into korean Hankooks for my old camry before. The hankook optimo 4s. They are half winter tires and half all seasons. ****ty mileage but u will never have to switch to snows ever again. for op this would not be an option cause of his long commute. But these are the only korean tires i would ever think about owning.
