? about what tire size to run in winter w/koni&springs
I've searched past threads and not quite finding what i'm looking for...I'm having koni's and Motorsports springs installed which will make the vehicle a little bit lower (not really what i wanted to do but is a byproduct of better handling) anyway I'm going to run into trouble next winter with the stock size of 225/50/16 what is the tallest tire i can run just looking to get a little height where i can....also I don't know alot about the konis can they be adjusted for height or just for stiffness? how have people been setting up the adjustments on the koni's????
anyone running the same setup with koni and g-lateral springs from motorsport? |

thats why coilovers are better than lowering springs... height adjustment

I think folks from the northern climes have had luck with 215/50 Blizzacks

205/55/16 are just fine. Narrow are better in snow. Do a search of Earthworm's post on tires. I think he also has a setup similar to yours.
Konis can only be adjusted for rebound. Rears can not be adjusted after they are installed, the fronts can. |

Little late but 205/60-16's would give a nice lift for winter and probably make your speedometer more accurate than it is with stock tires.
