They dont belong on a 10" wheel, but they will "fit."

best prices? tire rack is always competitive, as are other similar on-line retailers

kind of tire? depends on your driving needs/wants. Long wear? Don't care about wear, just want great traction? Run-flats? All-weather? snow? rain? hi-temps?

Check out the traction ratings as you filter through the multitude of choices. Fats with low profiles won't give you much wear guarantee, if any at all. Also watch out for road noise (determined by tread pattern). I had Nitto's on my Acura rice burner and they "howled"!

Thanks for the info, i thought the 315's qould fit on the 10 inch wheel, but i wanted to make sure. Im thinking about going with a set of boyd cottington smoothie 2's. Originally i was thinking about some TT2'1, but the smoothies are considerably cheaper with that look, only a bit more modern. I like it. Anyone have any pics of a Z with the smoothies on it? Thanks.
