Time for tires on my GTP. I was thinking of doing snow tires, but then I’d want another set of rims that still looked decent - too much $$$, so I’m sticking with “performance” all seasons (225/60R16). I put Potenza RE950s on the wife’s GTP and I like them other than you can’t do an x rotation without unmounting them. The stock Eagle RSAs suck both my left and right nad. Any opinions?

But I’d still want a second set of half decent rims so I could slap them on/off when the snow came. I gotta keep the car looking decent to compete with all the spinners cruisin’ around Rankin.

You mean the stock five spokes that have a little twist to them? That could work - they in good shape? PM me a price and I’ll run it by my financial manager. 😉

What size do you run? I didn’t think they made the RE730s in a 225/60R16.
