New tires for my Caddy

[Jarlaxle]

Since nobody actually makes a 15" performance tire anymore and I wore out my last set of CHP Eagles, I finally had to do it: swap to 17" wheels--AR Torq-Thrusts and 255/50R17 tires. Blarg.

Per my wife's wishes, I will not post any photos of myself or my vehicles.

Good for you.

I also do not post up pics or extensive info on my driveway. Not intended to offend, just a privacy thing...

While I agree you have your choice to do that, next time I visit Americas baking tray, I'm gonna keep an eye out for a SRT8 Dodge who's owner responds to "Nice SRT8 Steve"

You've already let too much info out, info you can't take back.

Internet privacy..... YMMV

Not even a photo of the car? I could understand not sharing your face or license plate. The Intertubes is a scary place. No matter, I found a likeness to give us an idea of what it looks like.

Well, you'll never find me that way as my car is a Chrysler! But seriously, I'm not hiding...

...not a bad looking set of wheels

And if you would like to share, may I suggest the anonymous photo style
For reference

Only thing TireRack has in that size are Kuhmo Ecsta ASX's in a W speed rating
Hankook and Nitto have an option or two in that size, but not much choice

 

[Jarlaxle]

Tires are Nexen N7000, W rated.

I'm surprised you waited to upgrade the tires...15" tires aren't much for a big, torquey engine like your 542...it must have spun them easily!

 

[Jarlaxle]

Not too bad with 2.73 gears...but it will spin ANYTHING (including drag radials) easily.

The handling is better...way better than the Cooper Cobras I had used...though not as big an improvement as I expected over the CHP Eagles.
