Taller tires
Is anyone running taller tires?

Why, the gearing is too tall now, IMHO? Larger diameter tires would only make this worse.
Plus they would through your speedometer calibration off, as well, unless you can find a different speedo drive gear to correct for the difference. You might get better gas mileage, but you would lose out on the acceleration end of it. What is there to gain? Bob |
A taller tire might make the expansion joints on the freeway more tollerable. With a supercharger you might be able to do 200 mph. There might be a reason someone would want to do it.

How much taller (reference to stock) are we talking about here?
|
Maybe a 60 series.

Sideways,
Maybe you are looking for a softer riding tire, rather than changing sizes? Do you have a favorite tire store? They might be able to point you in the right direction. The stock S02's are a rather harsh riding tire and there are many performance tires that will still give you good handling, yet also give a softer. more compliant ride. If the Tire Rack doesn't post an answer, maybe you can send Jim a PM? I hope that you find what you are looking for. Bob |

i would not go any higher than a 55 series tire.
anything over 55 would probably cause flex when turning hard. |
