GT Tire question
Has anyone gone to a "plus-zero" size tire yet? (215-45,17) (I decided to put summer tires on the GT.)
We do get snow in Calgary and I'm not the biggest fan of all-season tires, so I'll use the Goodyears for winter and am looking at the Yokohama AVS ES100 for summer. The guy at the tire shop suggested Plus-zero sizing for the better performance. Anyone done this? Don '03 Inferno Red 5 spd. Loaded

Don I'm thinking about it. But it may cause me to change my rims to get the efffect that I want. I'm looking to buy the Firestone Firehawk SZ50 EP (215/45ZR17 and I hope that they will give me the effect that I want without my having to purchase new rims. macster Don't help me Help the bear

I'm on the second set of Firehawk SZ50s on my Mustang GT. I LOVE this tire. Dry traction is excellent, and wet traction is nearly as good as dry. It receives excellent reviews at the Tire Rack website.
The only reason I don't run this tire on all my cars is that they don't make it in 205/50-15! :-) I'm glad they make a size that should work on the PT Turbo. 03 PT Cruiser GT 5-speed, Patriot Blue 95 Mustang GT-For sale 85 Shelby Charger-For sale 87 Shelby GLH-S #845

Does anyone know how this tire compares with the Bridgestone Potenza RE 950's I bought for my daughters Neon??? Costco order them for me for like $87 a tire mounted and balanced with new rubber stems! Her size was 195/60 HR 14!

I guess we miss out on using the high perfromance one, because of all the "snow" that we get here in Calif... <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> macster Don't help me Help the bear
