I'm wondering the same thing.  Would 255/45/18 be a good size? Could I go 265?  I picked out the General Exclaim Ultra High Performance...they seem good.

It appears as though your car came with the Pony Package, which has 17x8" rims.  That being the case, the 275/50R17 (28" dia) M&H Racemaster DR's will fit.  I've seen people mount the 275 Mickey Thompson ET Streets (about 26" dia) on the stock rim, but their shorter aspect ratio really looks like it cups the tire.  But for the track, that might be OK (with lower psi).

where is the best place to buy these

28HopUp -> RE: what kind of tires (4/28/2008 7:25:21 PM)

You can buy DR's from Jegs, Summit, or direct from M&H or MT.  I bought my M&H DR's from Evolution Performance in Aston, PA.
