20" Tire Suggestions?

by **Impholla** » Thu Oct 26, 2006 7:42 am

We have had our Solara for a year now with the 245/35/20 Nankangs and they SUCK, seriously, don't buy them. At 15,000 miles they are already wore out pretty much and we have had countless blowouts or repairs.. again, Nankangs SUCK.
:evil:

Soooooooo...... does anyone suggest a size/brand that has done well for them? Can I go to the 255/30/20 without any problems? I have always liked Kumho, anybody running 20" Kumhos on their Gen2?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

By the way, this is the car in question:
