Anyways..... I'm following along here, planning to replace the Used Dunlops I got with these Euromax rims, probably next spring. Dunlops will get me through this season.

@solman98........ those Goodyears you have, I take it you are running an 18" from your specs. What do you think a taller sidewall 16" would be like with the same Goodyear Eagle GT? Say a 225/55R16, (They do make them). I'm going for an "old school" look as opposed to the "rubber band" big rim short tire look. Any input?

Switched to Bridgestone Potenza all the way around a little more than 5K ago. Quieter and smoother than OEM and handles very well in the rain.

I'm sure they would still handle good and ride even better. When I went to these I went from a 225/40R18 to the 225/45R18 for a little taller side wall.

We here in Northern Indiana get it in two versions, Frozen and unfrozen. Thanks everyone for the ideas. I am going to start looking for availability and prices in our area. I have to admit I have been distracted lately looking for tires for my recumbent and not thought about the H. You know how that goes, wife's car, out of sight out of mind.

i'm looking to change out my tires(215/50 x 17), they seem a little rough, the car handles well. i think more side wall would give a better ride? not sure if any one has tried with any success and in keeping them to look good?
