The "bugniss" needs new tires but Im not sure what size to get. It has 165's on it now, but I wanted to know what kind of tires you have? Also if you have any pictures of your super give links too. I would like to see something I could get an idea about. Thanks, Wes

P.S., I have just stock rims..

It does you no good, but Im running Nitto NT 555 205-40-17 and 245-45-17 on 17x7 and 8.5" Porsche Boxster wheels

On stock wheels, I would stat with stock size tires, unless you wanted to get wider wheels to accomodate wider tires.

I run 135x15 up front and 175-65-15 on the back. They both fit nicely on stock wheels and a 4 1/2" lowered Super.

I have 195-65R-15's all the way around, on aftermarket Riviera rims. I'm very happy with the handling, the ride, and the traction - even in snow.
