A question about tires?

I'm going to get my car back out in a month or a month and a half or something like that...Well, my tires (lol, well, both my passenger tires were) were pretty bald...Well, they were beyond bald. So, I was going to get some new ones, and I can get a deal on Cooper Tires...Their webpage is: http://www.coopertire.com/tire_coope...ger.asp?id=182

Now, my questions are, what is the diameter of my stock wheels, and what size tire should i get? 255, 275? What size are stock tires, 265? If the wheels are 16", should I get the 245/50ZR16?

Well, I looked around their page for about 30 seconds and it said that the stock tires are 235/55R16, so would those 245/50ZR16 be good? Now, I'd like to get some good BFG drag radials, but I need to be able to drive around in the water, and I can't afford $140 a tire...I can get these cooper tires on a deal.

Your stock rim is 16" in diameter and 8" in width.

The V6 cars come with 235/55/R16 stock.

The V8 cars come with 245/50/ZR16 stock.

For all around driving you don't wanna use drag radials. They won't hook for crap in the rain.

Get the cooper street tires for general use. When you wanna do some racing, bolt on the BFG drag radials. You can mount them on a spare set of rims. Look in the "for sale" section for some cheapo salad shooters. You don't wanna spend more than $50 per rim max for perfect stockers.
