So, the time is about here to get some new tires for the 2008 STA.
In keeping the stock 20x8" wheels, I am looking at new tires. Something with a bit more bite than the stock (crap) Pirelli Scorpions.
Can anyone recommend any of these? I want to go a little bit bigger, but the width of the wheel is limiting me...
I almost think that a 275/55 is way too big, but I really love the Fortera Tires.

275/55/20 -- $134.00
OEM 255/50/20 -- $151.00

Goodyear Fortera SL -- http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?make=Goodyear&model=Fortera+SL+Edition
275/45/20 -- $119.00
a 255/50 has a sidewall of 5", a 275/55 has one of 6".
a 255/50 has a diameter of 30", a 275/55 has one of 31.9".
a 255/20 has 671 revolutions per mile. a 275/55 has 632rpm.
When I am doing 60mph, I'll actually be going 63.7mph with the larger tires. Does anyone think those are too big? The recommended width of the wheel to be mounted on is from 7.5"-9.5", so we make it by 0.5".
Opinions?
