Two (2) leads: Primewell PZ900 makes 225/50-16 and 245/45-16. These are Chinese-made tires, but generally good ratings, ESPECIALLY at price (about $350-375 set of 4). Tread looks like ZRi "knock-off" (surprise), and decent mileage (15,000 to 25,000 miles and performance. They are W (168 mph) heat rating. And BFG g-Force Sport COMP-2, BUT 255/50-16 rear. Tire Rack says they are guaranteed to fit, but jury out on width/height rub in wheel-well, increase in diameter. Spec table says they will fit 9" rim (OE on '89 GT). #1 (of 28) Ultra High Perf. Summer tires tested.

If it is really dangerous to drive with a 3% diameter difference, half the 928's out there should be taken off the road.

For new rims, go 18". There are take-offs from Cayman, Boxster and Panamera that work great. those are 8" and 9" wheels, too.

Just FYI, Tire Rack can get Bridgestone RE11's in 225/50/16 and 245/45/16 sizes. Price is $190 each for the 245 size and $142 for the 225 size. Looks to be a good tire, too:

According to Firestone, this tire is "not available". That's the only description I can get from Firestone. Yes, it *was* available last year, but it is "not available" now.

As I've mentioned in several of these threads, you CANNOT get this size anymore in the RE-11. I'm not sure what planet you are on when you connect to TireRack, but it's not earth.
TireRack does NOT have the RE-11 in the 245/45/16.

Just another point of confusion regarding availability of the RE11s... I bought a complete set (225s and 245s) in the proper aspect ratio from Tire Rack 2 months ago.
Never talked to anyone just ordered them online. Very good tire, I would buy them again but may never get the chance...

I was worried about this too. They ride very nice, relatively quiet and smooth as silk. My car is stock and has a recent alignment. You can really throw it into turns and the grip is amazing. Best of both worlds. Can't comment on wear but I dont expect much with a soft compound.
