Have you checked Sam's Club and Costco? Costco had them cheaper than Tirerack when I checked a few weeks ago.

Now that i'm thinking about it when we were taking some measurments for the rota wheel group i think w/ the stock ss/sc wheels and tires i only had like an inch from the top of the tire to the bottom of the strut perch.

btw, I swear by that site. Good prices, reasonable shipping, and the time I had to email their customer support they took very good care of me.

thats what i was saying. i thought stock was 215/40/18 but it is 215/45/18. but if 225/50 doesn't fit then 40 is what i will get.

Actually, according to WildWeasels tire size calculator, 245/40/18 would be perfect. Your speedo would only read 0.4% slower than normal.

245/45/18 on the other hand, would screw things up by 4.1%.

I dont know if I'd personally go anything wider than 225, but in your case 245/40/18 is the way to go.

Reviews for the Fuzion

Miles driven on tires: 10,000
Location: Waynesboro, VA

Driving Condition:
Combined Highway/City
Driving Style: Spirited



Good tire for the price. Nothing special but I find the tire to be very decent. Pretty cool tread design. If your on a budget, these tires are just fine. If youve got plenty of money, dont get these tires, get something better.
