I Like the Yokohamas AVS sport for look stick with side walls at 35. if you like the lowered low otherwise you can stagger 40 /35

I like the Vredestein tires. They "look" alright and perform pretty well.



Just my humble 2 cents....

Who cares what a tire looks like? As long as it performs?

My Nitto NT05s look like slicks even though they are brand new two days ago! They are like gum!

Any tire from Nitto, 555, NT-05, Invo....pick one because they all look good. I sport the 555's.

I do, the wrong tire car ruin a nice wheel and thus the appearance of a car in my opinion. Just my opinion.

I agree guys, Nitto has the best looking tires. For some reason i feel they tend to look a hair narrower than say Perreli's.
