Need new tires

Yes, I searched first.

My SC needs new rubber. Not because they are worn, but because their date code is in the 90's which makes them too old to be safe.

I have 245/45/16 one the rear. Not many companies seem to make them that size and I could only find Fuzion and Toyo so far. Any recommendations ?

I have 8" wheels on the rear...how wide can I go with stock fenders and ride height at Euro specs ?

Does anyone make a 225/45/16....I have 225/50/16 now on the front with fenders rolled I don't scrape.

Sumitomo makes a 245/45 but getting them is getting difficult. You might try calling Tire Rack and talking to a rep.

Fuzions are good tires especially at the price point.

Thanks Wayne. A neighbor friend has those tires but TR does not on their web page anyway. Guess I'll take your suggestion and call them.

I don't drive my car hard...I probably should at times...so don't need THE best. I think I have heard good things about Fuzions.

I had the Fuzions on my Cup wheels and they worked well for me. Street driving, nothing too crazy.
