With 225 rears, there is a large choice of crap tires and about 3 good ones. I sure hope I never see a car in here with Nankang tires on it. .. .

While I don't need tires today I know they're not too far in my future (see what I did there?).
What's, or is there, a tire of choice in the original sizes? I know there are no matching front/rear sets available...
What do you guys recommend or install at the shop?
Cheers

We're currently using the Toyo Extensa. We were using Falken but not the ones currently sold. No particular reason, the Toyos seem to do fine and they are readily available.
The Vredestein is a good pick (at 2X the price). All of these are in 225 rear/195 front.
You can get OEM sizes in BFGoodrich but they will be different tread patterns (and different overall tire design) if that's a big deal to you.

So that would be $300 shipped to 99517?

Also, do the fronts have the raised white lettering like the rear 235/60R15's?

No the fronts do not have RWL. But you can color them in.
Dave did this, just as I did with mine:

Ill have to confirm they still have some in stock, but if they do 300usd shipped is what I am asking.
Its just under $100 to ship the tires to the states, even to Alaska. Funny thing is I can ship them to Whitehorse for $50 but as soon as it crosses the border it is double. Frustrating.

You can paint them with mild success. I repaint them every season and it lasts about 1,500 miles. There is a thread on white tire paint.

I have seen many tire combinations before I bought.
The Vredesteins are truly a great and significant upgrade to the
exterior appearance. Performance seems to be average.
Just my thoughts.
