Re: Upgrading tires and wheels (iinan)

I misread it, but after more research and talking to a few people, I decide to go with your recommendation Dave. I'm having the Kuhmo Ecsta STP 225.45.17 installed today.I've heard possitive things about the Kuhmos, so I hope they do turn out to be a good choice.

Re: Upgrading tires and wheels (1oldbanjo)

Dave, thanks for that post. It was very informative and I'm glad to hear someone else with Kuhmo tires likes the tires. They came recommended by a friend, so I got online and did the research on them. I also looked at the 215/45/17 but like you said it would throw off the speedometer more than I wou...

Re: Upgrading tires and wheels (damronjr)

I'm upgrading to 17s.Although, I like the look of 18s, I have to stay within a price range I can afford.The Goodyear Eagle RSA are gone. They aren't very good tires to have on a vehicle if you are wanting good traction on wet pavement.Their ratings are not that great compared to other brands.

Upgrading tires and wheels

I'm about to upgrade my factory tires and steel wheels on my '05 base model.I was curious is anyone who has upgraded going from like a 16" to a 17" or 18" has noticed any major changes in the ride comfort?

Re: Going to maybe get a vibe (Moocow8)

I by no means think the vibe is a gay. Check out pictures of some of the vibes here, you will find a lot of sweet looking vibes. Some have been pretty pimped out. I think you should check with your local used dealers and see if they have any used models. Good luck on your search.
