I usually just buy tires online and have a shop mount and balance them for me. Tire rack and discount tire direct pretty much always have the sizes in stock for the tires I want. Sometimes check ebay as well as discount tire will have sales on there sometimes. What tires are you thinking?

I have actually had good experiences with the federal 595ss tires. They are inexpensive, grip well and are decent in the wet (probably not the cold though). Plent of options out there check the sites I mentioned (ebay for the federals).

I sure will. One last question, can the middle number vary slightly? I can get Indy 500’s locally but not in the specific sizes you and others have mentioned.

245/40/17 is OEM AP2 rear sizing.

255/40/17 is OEM CR sizing.

265 are dumb, don't bother with them on a stock car with 8.5" wheels.

Get 245/40/17, 255 are going to look lame on 8.5" wheels.
