Garage
Here is my first question. The car needs 4 new tires. But....

I have 205/55/16 in the front, 245/45/16 in the back. This means the last owner bought Fuchs 9's and moved the 7's up front, and 9's in back, right? The car also came with original 6's that were in front. So, I have 6 wheels in total.

Should I keep the 9's? There is only one seller of 245/45/16 which is Bridgestone Potenza for $195/ea shipped. That will last me 5-6 years, right?

Who would sell the 9" Fuchs and revert back to running 6's and 7's? I am not a tire or oil purist, but this would give me more tire choices and a lower price point. Plus, I'd capture the value of the 9's before they become extinct? This would also clear some garage space by not having to store 2 spare wheels that I may never use.
