need a tire, imput appreciated. ok, so i just got a huge nail put in one of my rear tires of my z/28, and now im needing at the minimum 2 new tires just for the rear, whats a good quality (but fairly cheap) DD tire that will fit on the factory 16" chrome five spokes? sorry for the noob question, i just have no idea when it comes to tires, unless its slicks. i need something that will last for a while so drag radials are likely out of the question, but are there any regular tires that are a little stickier w/o the sacrifice of a tire that will only last for a few thousand miles? Thanks in advance

EDIT: also can i fit 245's on them or do i have to go with the 235's from the factory?

I suggest the Fuzion ZRi.
(if the car currently has the 235/55s verify that's the OE size, as it's possible that's what the computer is set up for. However, the 245/50s will fit.)

yea, they are the p235/55/r16's they suck, i hate the r rated tires, plus i want something that will be a tad stickier. and the nittos, you said they last a good while, do you happen to know the tread life for them ttranssam
not sure, it has to be good. with how i drive and while bein bolt-on im always on the gas...id say im pretty much the worst kind of tire wear driver there is and no way these will be gone by the END of next year...
Believe it or not, the 235/55s were the base tire for both the V-6 and Z-28 Camaros, and I would imagine it was the same with the Firebirds. If you ordered the 245/50s, since they were "Z" rated, you car also came without the speed governor.
