Default New Tires

My stock tires are on their way out and I was wondering what kind of tires you are running or would recommend. I would like to get 315s out back. I dont race, it is my daily driver, I want to be able to handle the curves and have them grip better than stock. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Goodyear Eagle GS-D3's if they are in the budget.

315's arent recommended on stock wheels, it can be done but it is not recommended on a wheel any smaller than 11 inch wide.

Z28's have stock 16" rims. I have the Nitto 555rs 245/50/16 and they work great. I am very pleased with their performance and handleing for everyday driving.

Oh ya forgot they come with 16's.

Get the above mentioned tires and call it good unless you want to shell out the cash for a new set of wheels as well.
