Question Hoosiers are the only listed one for 16" high performance

Omathisen What rims are on your car? Are they the 6 pin knockoffs? I know this is not the cheap way but going to a 15" or 17" rim will give you alot more choices for rubber. I went from a 15" wheel and rim with BFG junk tires to 17" Mich Pilots with 335/ 35 17" tires. Big improvement in handling and driving. 16" where a short term bandage while the tires went from 15" to 17" wheels. If you are going to keep the car, this may be the cheap and better way to go. Does your car have the room for a 335 tire without rubbing? There are 295 and 315 size tires also. I can tell you that Coopers are a heavy tire that get hard and last forever. There handling drops after about 20-30 heat cycles on them. You might want to look at the billboard Goodyears with 15" rims. The cars came withthem and handle well. The only down side is they need about 2-5 miles to warm up and stop the thumping from flat spots from sitting on tar or concrete floors. I only checked Tire Rack, they carry the most tires on line.
