Question about SP5000s. I plan to get SP5000s what size should I get? I have the SP8000E with

sport suspension and sport wheels. Also what is the difference in size? Is there a bg difference in sizes compared to driving conditions? TIA

205 - 55 - 16 (i.e. same as your stock)

If you go bigger or fatter you lose some of the all season benefits (like traction in snow).

I agree with KDL

Since you want all season tire - you obviously are not interested in the ultimate grip in snow or dry conditions. Therefore staying with the stock recommendations makes the most sense.

BTW the SP5000s keep getting great reviews here.

Re: Question about SP5000s.

Dennis-

Best to use same size as what you have now with the OEM wheels (205/55R16)

I do have them, call me direct when you are ready to order, thanks!
