@USCGunnerI have a 91 lx convertible 5.0 no mods. Currently I have 225/60/16's. With my limited knowledge and from what I have been reading 225/55/16's are recommended. My question what is the proper size. I use the car for cruising around and going to some local cruise in's and local shows no more racing for me. Thanks
@USCGunner
What does the sticker either on the door jamb or in the glove box say they should be? imp
@FastDriverYou'll be fine with that, but FYI, that changes the tire height from 25.75" to 26.62 inches. That'll throw off your speedo by about 3.5%.
Ha! Moving from Colorado to Indiana, driving my '78 Fiesta, I had disconnected the speedometer cable. In Indiana, I came up slowly on a State Cop car, guessed my speed was below the limit, passed him ever-so-slowly, and the guy pulled me over! Asked if I knew I was over the limit. Told him my speedometer had broken yesterday, I was moving to Indiana, to start a new job. Besides, I told him, I figured a patrol car wouldn't be driving over the limit during non-emergency use.I don't think it's bad. When you consider the fact that the wear from 11/32 down to 2/32 on a tire alone is 1%, 3.5 overall is not really going to be a big deal. Plus, since it's a bigger tire, the speedo will indicate you're going faster than you actually are, which means that you are less likely to get pulled over.
Whoops, you're right. I apologize.
