Tire fitment
 
have 90 S2 Cab running 205 55 16 front and 225 50 16 rears on the standard rims (D 90's) wanted to go to 225 50 16 front and 245 45 16 rears but the rear tires are almost impossible to find. There is a selection of 245 50 16 available but am not sure they will fit. Any advice???

Afraid I can't help you there, I haven't run All-Season tires on either of my cars in a few years. If you're not going to drive it in the winter I'd suggest some sort of summer tire since you wouldn't need the tires to move thru snow or a lot of rain.

225/50 R16 and 245/45 R16 will fit just fine. Good luck on picking tires. The 245/45 R16 size is getting hard to find.

M758 What about 245 50's on the rear

245/50 will fit, but have a slightly taller diameter. I had these on the back of my turbo S when I got it in 1997. I removed them and went with the proper 245/45 within the year. I can't say it drove any different.

where did you find the 245/45's

M758 07-14-2010 11:51 AM

I have not bought tires in a few years.
