Default Damon, Help Me Choose Some Tires

Seeing as how I'm a Tirerack fan, I thought I'd ask for some advice.

I just bought a 1986 Turbo Look Cab with 205/55/16 fronts and 245/45/16 rears.
The tires look good, but they're mixed - and the front Pilot Sports are five years old, to judge from the purchase records.

Time to change them, and since I don't like to mix tires I'll probably also get rid of the rear Bridgestone RE750s.

16 inch High Performance tires are getting rare. Seems like the Fuzions may be my best bet. The car's my weekend joy ride; no track use.

Thanks!

Helios59,
I don't think that Damon checks the board daily You might want to call him on their toll free number. Why don't you move up to 17", and go with the Fikse FM10s, on some Pirelli P-Zero Rosso Good luck and post some pics with the new wheels and tires.

Sorry Helio, missed this one. I'm presuming it was you I spoke with on the phone yesterday, correct?

so what did you end up recommending Damon? I have the same fronts but 225/50/16 rears. Summer/Fall driving in PA with need for some wet weather grippiness.
