quick tire question

[isuzu5000]

i've got 17x7 wheels. Im needing tires bad! I dont care about high performance. Can someone give me some advice on what i should get. Im more concerned about treadwear to be honest. I dont want low profile tires though. What size, width...etc do you suggest? Thanks guys!

if you wanted to be OEM spec, i would suggest getting 205/40/17.

if you wanted a little better ride quality, i would get 205/45/17 or (for a fatter tire) i would get 215/45/17

falken 912 are good tires with good tredwear...and they are pretty quiet as well.

i used the tire calculator we used to have on here and it said that 215/45/17's matched my stock tires as close as possible.. i've been riding with those ever since.. my stock tires were 185/65/15's

would 205/50/17 be too tall?

yeah they would.. just go wit 205-45... they r the best size for ur car.. u wont throw off the speedometer.. if u wanna go for some decent tires for a decent price id go wit kuhmo ecsta..

i want to avoid directional tires though. im done caring about performance....just durability and dry/wet weather traction
