(Tucson Members) help need tires size question - SRT Forums

Guys, I hit a pot hole yesterday on LaCholla as you cross the wash and split a side wall on the front right side tire. The rain the other night did some damage to the road and I was lucky enough to drive right into a huge pot hole.
I was checking the air in the tires and noticed it this morning. I really need to replace all 4 tires, it's about time. As some of you know, I am not working right now and wanted to know If I want to go a bit wider on my stock rims but I do not want loose any height from stock, What size will fit and what is the best price here in Tucson that you know of. I cannot afford to go all out so I am looking for a good riding tire. Now that the car is lowered I cannot get tires that will give any harder ride then I already have. As it is now my ride is so hard I have to stop and puke about every 30 min

and my back gets an adjustment every 3,000 miles. It sucks to get old,,,

Right now I have on the car some Contintal's 205/50/17 93v CY95

Thanks for any input

My front tires are Sumitomo HTRZ 225x45x17. They are only .1 inches shorter in diameter than the 205x40x17 and .8 inches wider. The tread wear rating is a decently soft 180 and I have ran 13.00 on them at 12 psi and side stepping the clutch. They have a deep directional pattern and are GREAT in the rain. I see that Tire Rack no longer offers them but does have the HTRZ II for $76 each. Try this link to see them.

Tirerack has summitomos 205 50 17 for $61 each. Plus shipping offcourse. They are shipped from Reno NV, so they get here in about 3 days.

If you want local your best bet is discout tire. just make sure they give you the price they offer on www.discounttiredirect.com. Usualy their instore prices are higher but if you reffer the the website they will match it.

Discount will match tirerack's prices as well if you bring in a print out.

If you're on stock rims move up to 215/50s.
