I am looking for a good 255/50 16 tire... Any recomendations and where can i find them

 

for stock rims?

tires for track? street?

 

It would also help to list what car you are driving as it's not shown in your profile.

Good tires from Toyo (T1-S, RA-1), Falken (Azenis Sport), and Nitto (555 RII) are available from other online sources if you are interested in those.

If you are looking for tires for an RX-7, that seems like a very odd size. Not knowing where to find tires suggests that you are new at this so you might want to consult the forum members on the size, too.

A 255/50/16 will fit on a 16x8J wheel pretty easy. I have 4 bfg drag radials in that size mounted on 16x8's in my garage. They have a pretty good amount of side wall flex. I got them from http://www.tirerack.com/

the new M/T Street-drag radial .

 

They are going on the rear of an FC. mounting them on 16x9's and i am just looking for some good performance tires for on road driving. Once i get used to the car, i will buy some real nice performance tires

 

Then the proper size would be 245/45 16.

 

Yeah thanks, i was just going over my math myself and found that a 255/50 would be way too tall. It is easy to forget that the aspect ratio is taken from the width of the tire and not just a set standard sidewall height

 

Thanks for the pointers, I have been looking at the Falkens as well as the yokohoma es 100's. The yokohama tires I hear last a little longer
