suggested tire size for a daily driver?

[teufeltito]

yes i have searched (i swear the only thing i hate about this forum is the hostility towards new users) and i have come up with one result that wasnt what i wanted.

anyhoo, what would you guys suggest as a daily driver tire set up? i know im going to narrow the beam 2". i think thats all i want to do. i dont want my daily to be slammed but i do want the front (only) lowered like 2" or so. i figured just the narrow beam and thinner tires would do. ill be running stock chromies.

thanks

Run em stock, 165x15's If all you're looking to do is go down 2 and in 2, you should be ok on those.

165s rear, 145s front. If you don't need to hit corners quick or brake without locking up.

Nice rubber rake, still decent width. Just don't run discs up front - your front tires will turn into street markers if you hit the brakes a little to hard.
