There are so many different sizes you can run that wear and perform better than the stock tires.

Pep Boys, Discount Tires, National Tire & Battery. I bought my Nitto Motivo fronts at National, but had to go to Discount for the rear Motivos. They didn't carry 255s.

This and if your not in a rush sometimes the manufacturers have rebates. Probably a lot going on right now for the holiday.

Yes, the stock sizes appear to be the problem.

I bought the stock sizes in the coopers from Pep boys while they were running a buy 3 get one free special. The tires have performed fine but seem to be wearing fast (rears). I have zero burnouts on them.

They're wonderful all season tires. Unfortunately my MM is my DD, so that means I drive it during the winter. There were Hankook tires on when I bought the car, and the 1st winter snow was scary. Second gear would hit and the car started going sideways at low speeds. I don't have that problem with the Nittos.

i would prolly up the rear psi a couple, most had same issue with the original BFG's that they wore quicker at lower psi. As Charlie posted, 38 for rears was pretty common for a lot to use over the years.

I can get the Nittos locally. I think I'll go that route. Thanks!
