Do you mean 255/55 ?

[Stranger in the Black Sedan]

whatever the profile may be, yeah a 255 on the stock wheels is fine.

255/45's on all four stock rims - no problem!

They are Continentals, great tire, better numbers than OEM tires, great traction, dry, or wet, great wear, and they look great, ask Adam.

Oh and they put on a nice smoke show too!!! Unfortunately, it looks like Continental discontinued them for some reason. I plan to stick with 285's whenever I run out the Continentals (which will be awhile judging by current wear patterns and trash's experience).

I could go with this (http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/nvn/pts/1399834182.html)...oh wait - $1150 for a set of 4? HOLY CRAP. Mine were like $120 a piece!

Might try the Maxxis Marauder (http://www.gripston.com/search?q=285/50/18#TP43190000) just so I have tires that say "Marauder" on them...

[Blk Mamba]

that $1150 is a steal, the list was $476 each.

[a_d_a_m]

Right, but market price was $120 per tire...

Once you go "flat" - you never go back!!
Driving around with the nose down makes no sense except for the visual preference.
