Anyone KNOW the for sure tire size that came stock on the 98.5? I currently have 225/50's and I think they came with 205/? Should I go back to stock size? Thanks
While not '98.5, my '00 had a set of 225/50s on it also. Tried briefly to locate 215/50s to go back to the OEM size, but apparently that size is not exactly popular. Since my back tires are still in great shape anyway, I'll just stick with the 225/50s.
Now if I could only find a pair of Kumho Supras/712s to match the others, but apparently they're no longer in production. I don't like mismatched tire sets.
You can easily get another 1.5" of tread width per tire by changing from the stock 205/55R16 to a 225/50R16, and it will fit on the stock 6.5" wide rim.
Isn't it more like a little over 3/4"? 225mm - 205 mm = 20mm or .7874"
It appears you can still buy new ones here: http://www.1010tires.com/tire.asp?tiremodel=Ecsta+Supra+712&tirebrand=Kumho
