Hey guy's, I've been reading your informational thread and my situation is this. My baby came with a set of 4 mich ps's 205+255. I bought it with the fronts dry rotted and now I have a bubble(likely due to a pot hole) so I have every excuse now to get some new tires. It's my first mid-engine and the pushing into a turn bothers me. I figure it is due to the dry rot and the light front end. My q is this, with my stock 17's can I go wider up front (to more even the stagger) w/o any other changes and what is the best bang4the buck tire? Consider I live on L.I. and drive year round as long as the streets are dry,I don't drive it if the other people on the road have any weather to deal with. It's my baby. Thanks Live free or die.
