Need some input on tires please

[stevejones]

Just found this recipe for bent rims - looks awesome!
4-Buy bigger rims
4-Buy them aftermarket
4-Slap on lower profile tires
6-Dodge Illinois potholes for this many months

Enjoy!

Seriously? The only possibly good point you have is the aftermarket rim thing. 18s are an option on my car and the tires are far from low profile. Thanks for the useless post.

Tire Rack has the Radius brand of wheels/rims that is a good price and made in Italy

Thanks. Was looking at some of those as well.

Bingo! I had the CS5s on my Hyundai Tucson that was replaced with the Mazda in my sig. Great tire. Quiet and great handling on wet/dry pavement. I do have dedicated Cooper Discoverer snow tires on steelies for the winter, though.

You are comparing a Forester to an Odyssey?
