On the street you are looking for balance and feel. The feel of the car is something you can enjoy every moment you are driving the car. On my Sebring car I put 225 (6.5 in rim) and 245 (8.5 in rim). These are also the tires I put on the 427 car we ran at Bonneville. Driving this 427 car on the street felt awesome. Something to think about is most of our cars have close to a 50/50 weight distribution. This has a direct correlation to the tire size...

Here is an interesting article on the subject.

Interesting, because I thought that wheel/tire combo looked great on the Bonneville car.
