which tires to get?
im looking at getting some new tires for my fc and need some advice. im running stock s5 t2 mesh wheels and tein flex coilovers. i was thinking about getting these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-225...QQcmdZViewItem
would that be a good size? im running stock fenders and dont want the wheels sticking out past them. is there another tire better for my application? im looking at spending about $500-$600 for everything (mounting, balancing, ect.). any help would be greatly appreciated.

Those tires will not have grip....do you need snow/cold weather traction? If not, you should be looking at very high performance dry or "summer" tires. I don't think 225s will fit up front on an FC with stock wheels (don't know for sure about that, I'm an FD guy).
But if 225/50s do fit all around, you should be looking at the Extreme or Maximum Performance tires at Tire Rack, along with the Falken RT-615.

I ran 225/50/16's on my FC with stock 16x7 rims and coilovers. I also ran 245/45/16 out back on stock rims which were really stretched.
If you want the best handling simply put 225/50/16's all around with a quality compound. ie summer/performance tire All Season radials are not really performance tires.
