Front tire thoughts...

(1/4) > >>

alex d:
What do you like to run in the front? Do you go for the classic look and use 135 or 145s? Or you prefer the safety of a wider tire, even if it's not old school?
I like my cars to have decent handling, so I don't like the idea of using 145s. In fact I don't now what tire to use, everything seems like it's going to rub the wings, and narrowing the beam wasn't in my original plans! I'll have to try those 175/60 o 65s...

Lids:
I have always used 145's :) Never crashed, but then again never driven.....

ESH:
I run 145's and they're not a major problem. Occasionally they lock up a little earlier than you might expect and combined with a bit of power you can sometimes get both understeer and oversteer at different points in the same turn but they're neither dangerous or difficult as such. :)

Zach Gomulka:
Some cars just need the 145 to look right (I dont like 135's, too short, too skinny, and they only fit a 4.5" rim well). For a daily driven car I like either the 175/65 or the 185/60. Both are about the same height as a 145 so from the side the car will still look right.
