Tire brand/fitment/combo question

[MR 325]

I've got to throw in that I am running the Nexen N3000 on my S50 car. I think they are a great tire and they are priced very reasonably! Something to consider though, they run wide for their size. This is not necessarily a bad thing but keep this in mind!

I personally am a fan of running the widest tire that will fit with the application. I'd go 225/45. :)

I was looking at the nexens, there $75 on tirecrawler! I didn't calculate the cheapest price with shipping yet...If I go H&R sport on my 16x7.5rims, what size do you think I should go with? I'm concerned about fitment and having to much of a fender gap. Also I am thinking I will lose positive rake going h&r sport.

Thinking of going with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS in a 205 50 16

Wait, who did you get them from? How much and how do you like them. I'm in NNJ and thinking of getting the same tire.

I bought them off tirerack.com I believe I payed around $500 with shipping, I am very happy with them. They just saved my ass in the rain today from a nasty hydroplane on a flooded side road, car stayed straight and predictable! The car also handles very well on dry roads, tire is also quite. No rubbing or fitment issues 205/50/16 on h&r sports. Fills side walls nicely. I am very happy with them no complaints. :up:

Nice quite the opposite why I would never buy Good Year!!! I went from Yokohama's to a set of Eagle GT 4 something like that. Second day on the tires its rainin and I almost killed myself on the same off ramp I have taken hundreds of times on the Yoko's.

Can you post some pics of your cars fitment with the tires.

Thanks
