275-40-17 on a WS6
Hey guys, I'm installing some 17" wheels on my 2000 T/A. Did the WS6 come with 275-40-17's from the factory? A 275 seems to be kind of a wide tire for the front.

275/40/17's are the stock WS.6 size tire.
I run 275's up front now, and a 315 out back.

Ok, thanks. I'll probably stick with 275's all the way around for now. Thanks for the info. I'll post pics when I get the wheels and tires on.

what tires are you thinkin about?
I have 275's up front on my car.....needless to say....cornering is sweet.
I got a buddy with a talon TSI, and I took him for a ride, and some of the corners made him go "WOAH!!!!"

I found some Fuzion ZRi's on Tire rack .com. I don't really have the money to go all out for Michelin Pilots or any thing like that.

You won't believe this but try some Sumitomo HTRZ 275/40/17" tires from Tire Rack . Very aggressive tread design , killer price , needs no balance weights , 10" wide .

i have the fusions. only because they were on the car when i bought it. not a bad tire for the price i dont think. once they start to were a little they dont hook for shit though. wet tractions isnt that great either. but i dont drive in the rain.

triple-black- 2000 CamaroSS convertible
I'm starting to find my 315s front tires to be narrow... 275 aren't too wide at all for the front.
