vonrottes Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Getting around that time of year when I have a lot of extra money and I think it's finally time to upgrade my worn out 225/70r15 and 235/70r16 mismatched tire on my hoopty. I'm budgeting this to around 1,500-1,600 including $800 I'm spending on new 18x8 wheels. right now I'm looking at Continental Sport contact 5 tires in a 255/55r18 (255/55 is my target size since I don't want to chance a bent wheel and are the biggest I KNOW I can run) I just don't want to end up with a crap tire or not the best tire for the money. Anyways for those that don't know? The vehicle in question is a 1992 RCSB 2wd S10 with a 5.3L (so it should be putting about 250ish to the rear wheels) it's an auto so, take offs are not THAT aggressive. It is a DD running about 20miles a day to and from work (city and highway) obviously I'll have a crap set of wheels/tires for the winter so I'm just looking at summer tires that won't slide all over the place in the rain. might see a little track action in the summer.(I maybe run a total of 5,000 miles a year so low wear is OK so long as the traction is good) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I think there are alot of capable tires that are better performing and less expensive than those continentals... shoot me a text tomorrow and I'll get you some pricing..
