Default 50 series tires on 16" swing wheels? Didn't I see someone...

who had some type of 50 series tires on 16" swings listed as summer tires in their sig? How does that work? What is the exact tire size you run? Do you have pics? What is the widest tire you can get on those stock swing wheels anyway?

Default hi! I was just going to say that I had run 225/50/16s on my A4 :)

they're just a bout the same rolling diameter as the 205/55s

I wouldn't go wider than 225 though.

Default I do ,they work great . If you hunt you can get them fairly cheap ,even in V or Z rating

I got my Yokes (V rated) for $73 each on sale. The size 225/50-16 is a common size for Pontiac and some other domestics. I almost got Falkens in same price range.
