Dirty Rockstar Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hey gang. Baggy needs new tires yesterday, and at work, we have a great buy on some 205/60/16 sport tires. So great, I want to get a set fast. What would be some foreseeable setbacks by going from 225/60/16s? I compared a 225 to the 205 and the only thing I can see is the sidewall seems a bit shorter on the 205s for some reason, but it could be an illusion. Thanks a lot all!

jeremy Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 205-60-16 tires will look ridiculous on an Intrigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Will look too small, and your speedometer will be off. IIRC, you can probably get the Viva 2's for cheap (assuming that you still work at Wally World, correct?). While I didn't care for them too much (soft sidewall, ok traction in snow, certainly not a handling tire), the wear rate on them was awesome, and the price was good. Otherwise, check your local craigslist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White93z34 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 yeah I'll second the viva2s for the money they are a pretty decent tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
