WTF? Fail. I've never heard of such a tire except maybe a Nitto Neo Gen. Oh well, there are definitely better tires to be had then those anyways. Unfortunately, your tire size of 215/45 R16 sucks major balls for any decent tires the way it looks. (Just by a quick Tirerack.com search is all) Try to pick up some stock Evo wheels, VIII sets are going for $300-500 now days depending on if they have tires and the remaining tread. That would really open windows as far as tire choices.

haha, yeah, the 215 45 16 does pretty much suck. And yeah, these tires are pretty 'old' for what they are. As for the Evo rims, there have been a couple on the GVR4 forums that do have them, but I'm not 5 lug . Going 5 lug probably won't happen unless 1) the rear end snaps 2) 5 lugs for pretty cheap in working condition 3) 4 bolt rear conversion... because if I'm doing the 5 lug conversion, I'm just gonna want to do the 4 bolt rear on the car. There's definitely way more options if i go with the 5 lug conversion though.
