    Where to buy 225/45/16 tires online?

    Trying to find a reputable online tire shop that I can get a set of 225/45/16's that aren't Yoko s-drive garbage or those hilariously crap BFG's that are available on tire rack.

    Any ideas?

    There are only a few options in that size, not sure what kind of tire your looking for but some of your options are Nexen N3000's,


    Falken 452's

    Falken ze 512's

    Toyo Tires Proxes T1R
    All types of tires at unbeatable prices with quick delivery, from winter to summer, offroad to highway, whatever tires you need we have them.


    I was looking for 225/45/16's myself and I decided to go with a 205/50/16 a lot more choices in that size and the 225 really isn't much wider.

        Welcome to the crappy 225/45/16 tire selection! I had the FK452s as well, got them through a local tire shop I think they were $450 for a set.

          452s are a good tire, decently quiet and decently grippy.

          T1Rs are not all that great. Soft sidewall. One thing I will say about them is that they are typically very light, and they are available in a huge variety of sizes. Want a 265/40R17? T1R's your bet.

                I have used www.discounttiredirect.com for many sets of tires.

                I have Jean's 452 tires now and I like them.
