the tire isent stretched at all, it sits very flush with the side of the rim and the car seems to handle way better then it used to...plus i actually get traction now, compaired to the 245s...and i can also use the tires on the work cr kai's i am buying

Smile Fail?

I am starting to think the whole "fail" thing is an inside joke. Nobody has suggested a size for stock wheels other than "fail." "Fail" boy has not talked about his tire upgrades. Maybe he is running on 225's and feels like he is a failure.

That info only gets posted about 4 times a week. Just SEARCH for it.

If you're referring to me...

1) This thread is not about me, but my mods, which include my wheels and tires are in my profile, you may check them if you wish.

2) A big part of why your thread was labeled "fail" is not only your poor tire choice, but incoherent posts. This forum tends to be populated with intelligent, mature, professional individuals, at least for the most part. As such, any posts with poor vocabulary, improper grammar, rambling etc will be critiqued. That's just the way it is.

3) If you want recommendations on the proper tire size for any wheel, visit one of the links provided a few posts above. As terrasmak stated, too wide a tire on a narrow wheel will hinder performance more than it will help. Wider is not always better.

Perhaps I'm not the "fail boy" you are referring to, but as more than just I pronounced this thread fail, it's hard to discern who you're addressing without a more clearly aimed post. Either way, have fun with your new tires and their sidewall shimmy.

PS. In the future, if you receive criticism, trying to act better than everyone and belittle them without knowing who they are, their affluence, or otherwise doesn't help your cause or may you look any better. FYI
