What tires for a 5.0 with pony rims?
 
I am looking at these 2 tires as I am getting new tires and I dont know which one i should get? Here are the 2 tires on sale at a local shop

What one do you guys recomend or do you have different tires to recamend? Keep in mind I live on the west coast of b.c canada so weather here is really wet and cold in winters. What size should I get, right now theback is 245/50/16 and front is 225/50/16, but they are old worn out tires.

The 329's seem to be better suited for inclimate weather. Do you get snow? Talk to the shop and find out what optimum temp is for tracktion of each tire, and make a choice based on your needs. Better yet, get two sets of rims, and put a set on each :)

Throw some winter tires on the 10 holes. And leave the tires that are on the ponys. I thought about doing that... but the 10 holes just dont look as nice.

Ya jazzer we get snow but i wont be driving it whwn it sbows ill just borrow my moms van lol. Ya it only snows like few times a year, its ice im worry about. I do have a spare set of 10 hole rims but I really dont like them lol. Would a summer tire get damaged from cold weather?

The salt and grime stuff they put on the road will damage them. If you drive through it, hose the rims down or something atfer your done driving.

^ Sure, with winter the tires. Keep a summer/performance tire on the Pony's (or verse visa) and switch out when needed.
