hey guys, my 95 3.4L camaro with salad shooters are in need of some new rubber.. I'm really thinking about buying the firestone firehawk indy 500s.. 245/50/16's.. all the reviews on tirerack for them are awesome, #1 in their class and not the most expensive tires out there. Anyone out their have them? What do you think of them?

 

You can fit them in that size? I was told I couldn't go over 235/55's

 

You can do 245/50R16 on the 16x8 salad shooters. I had some Firehawk SZ50s on my salad shooters. From the factory, some of the salad shooters had 235/55R16s on them.

 

Not that you can't fit them,just the speed rating with standard Camaro was 108 MPH vs. 160 with the Z28 perf option.

P.S.// Take a look at the FUZION ZRi,much better in the rain[it blows the SZ50 away]!!

 

yea the 235/55's are the standard tire they put on the salad shooters.. the 245/50 are optional equipment tire for them... I bought my salad shooters used with sumitomo htr+'s in 245/50's but the tires wore away too fast..i'm tryin to find a good cheap all season tire... oh yea would the optional equipment tires by anychance mess with my speedo? Only reason I ask this is because since i've put them on, whenever i go past a 'Your Speed Is:xx' thing it only reads im going 27-28mph when my speedo says im going about 30-31mph.. And it's not the same Your Speed is:xx sign I go past all the time, even the one at my college does it.
