I was thinking (I know, a scary thought itself!) about getting a new wheel and tire combo for the summer. Here's what I was thinking. A wheel and tire package from our friends at Tirerack:ASA wheel with athracite accents and machined lip:The new Goodyear Eagle GT:The wheel/tire combo would be 18" with 235 or 245/40/18.Any opinions? Plus if I decide to do this, I will have my TC rims and tires up for sale (Price to be determined later).Thanks in advance!

I have always liked that style wheels. It would look good on your Abyss Vibe.

I've liked those ASA rims. bet they would look good on the Vibe. I usually see them on a subaru.

Cool. Thanks for the responses. The tire/wheel combo would be around $1400.00 total shipped. I think that's a good deal because the closest thing that discount tire has would be around $1600+. What ya think about the Eagle GT tires though? Have seen some good reviews about them plus I like the looks of them too. They say that they're an all season tire but I would only use them as a summer tire. Opinions?

those looks real nice should look great on the vibe......next youll have to lower it

you can get the rims from tirerack... but check out tiresavings.com I will be running the very same size tire this summer, I plan on running the federal tires seen on that web page. 80. bucks a tire. I would bet any amount of money that the federals handle 10times better than the goodyears

i need some new summer tires i think i could handle 80/tire

Opinions?Personally, I would look at the Falken FK452 (what's on my Subie) or Federal 595 (KeithVibe is getting these IIRC which DTD or TR doesn't sell) you'll get similar performance if not better out of either, for less...

looks good. and also check with Costco or Sams for some tires. they may have some that will fit too.
