    If you're looking for sticky .... No.

    If you're looking for sticky:
    Bridgestone Potenza RE-11
    Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec
    Falken Azenis RT 615
    Advan Neova AD08
    Kuhmo XS

    I wouldn't go over a 235 on a 7.5" wheel. 225 would be a good fit. Check the manufacturer's specs on the tires to see if you are able to mount on a 7.5" rim.

    Don't cheap out on rubber!

    If your not going to drive it much then why waste money? I'd say keep what you got.

    ?? i'm nervous about buying tires.. i feel retarded, but i'm going to have the money for them in 2 weeks and i don't want to buy some i'll regret buying. i want something that will last me at least 20k miles and give me impressive grip. can someone just tell me what to buy. i'm tired of window shopping online and reading stupid reviews

    I've had Toyo Proxes 4's since I was 16 and LOVE them so much. I personally like 225/40 best for 16's. If you want to save a few bucks go with 205/40. I got (sadly) 195/50 for my 15s last year from td4l.com they give you what its speed rating and tread and all that stuff. for those guys, great deals. hope this helps. Good luck

    they don't make the proxes 4 in 225/40/16.. just 205. i am looking at yokohama S drive... 215/40/16. $92 a tire..

    I am getting so freaking tired of reading reviews.. every other one is - this tire is crap and the loudest thing ever, worthless... and the next one would be saying they're the best tire on the planet. BS!
